PLEASE FIND OUR MEDIUM TERM PLAN FOR Autumn 2 ATTACHED BELOW.
Phonics
Phonics is taught every day and children are regularly assessed and re-grouped according to their sound knowledge, accuracy and fluency in reading.
Reading
Once your child can blend words independently, they will receive a 'blending book' to read at home every day. Once your child can read simple sentences, they will bring home a reading book which should be read at home at least 3 times a week. This will ensure your child gains more confidence and becomes more fluent in their reading.
P.E is on Tuesdays
Please ensure your child has a full P.E kit in school. They will need a black pair of shorts, plain black joggers or leggings, a plain white t-shirt and pumps/trainers. All items will need their name clearly written on them. This is extremely helpful when the children are dressing and undressing for P.E.
