Phonics

As a School we teach Phonics using Read Write Inc.

 

Reading

Reading with your Child at home is so important.

Each week your child will be sent home with Read Write Inc Storybooks and Book Bag books linked to their current learning. They will also be able to access a range of books on Oxford Owl. Passwords have been sent home please ask if you need the details again.

 

We monitor when the children read using the ‘GoRead’ app.

 

We ask that you read at home with your child each night for approximately 15 minutes and  upload a comment to ‘Go Read’ each time your child reads at home. We would ask you read no more than a few pages each time and spend time discussing the story and asking your child questions in order for your child to fully understand the books. Please try and read your child’s home reading book more than once so ensure they fully understand the text.

Maths

We use the maths scheme ‘White Rose Maths’ in school. As the year progresses we will be starting to use Time Tables Rock Stars at home.

PE 

This term, we will have PE on Tuesdays. This half term we will be doing Gymnastics with our Happy Hedgehogs PE coach.

Please make sure your child comes into school each Tuesday wearing their PE kit.
