Phonics Fun

The children have impressed us with their fantastic start to Phonics and learning all our new sounds through the programme Essential Letters and Sounds. 

Children have been reading sounds in the environment, writing simple words and captions and have been incredibly excited for their home reading books which were handed out today. 

Reminder, these must be brought every day to support individual reading at school. Books will be collected in on a Thursday and returned with a new book each Friday. 

Our book next week is Owl Babies. 

Happy Reading!
