Phonics
We have added some resources that the children are familiar with in the classroom. We use sound mats to support both reading and writing. The children will have learnt Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 sounds in Reception and we will work through Chapter 4a and 4b within Year 1. We will continue to add to the bank of resources to help support learning at home.
Phonics Shed and Spelling Shed
The children have their Spelling Shed log ins stuck inside the front cover of their yellow reading diaries. Please log on to Spelling Shed as regularly as possible to access the assignments which will be set each week. The assignments run Friday to Friday.
Each week we will look at the league tables, which identify the children who are completing the homework task on Phonics Shed and Spelling Shed. The top three children from each year group are given merits in our whole school assembly on Friday mornings and the winner receives a small trophy to keep for the week in their classroom. To be in with a chance to win, the assignments must be completed, and the children could always look back at previous sounds covered and play some extra games to gain extra points.
