Good afternoon, 

We hope you are all keeping well and well doyen Owls for all your hard work and achievements this week.  

This week in Phonics we have been continuing to learn alternative spellings including split digraphs these include; a-e as in snake, i-e as in time, o-e as in home, u-e as in  cute and yoo as in rude. Please help your child to spot these in books. 

Our new tricky words are; Mr, Mrs, Ms, ask, could, would, should, our. Again, please help your child to read and spot these. Remember tricky words can not be sounded out. 

In English, we have been talking about the main characters in 'The Three Little Pigs', creating a role on the wall. We discussed what they look like and their feelings. The children also had great fun creating their own puppets in readiness to tell their stories to Year R next week. They can not wait! 

Good afternoon,

In Phonics, we have learnt four new GPC’s; ir (first, bird, girl), ie (lie, cried, fried), ue (blue, rescue, argue), u (unit, tuna, music). We have also learnt new tricky words (words that can not be sounded out); here, today, one, their, people, oh, your. Please encourage your child to spot these in books.

Well done to all the children who are reading your most recent Little Wandle e-book, it is really supporting your phonics and reading skills. 

In English, we have been learning and practising ‘The Three Little Pigs’. The children have drawn excellent story maps to help them remember the beginning, middle and end. In a few weeks they will perform their stories to year R, using the puppets they have made in class. Children may like to practise and perform to you!

In Maths, we have continued to add, solve problems and using the part, part, whole method. Children are getting really good at grasping this concept.

Over the next few weeks, Mrs Langton will be joining us at various parts of the day to get to know the children and make those important relationships with the children.
