Home Reading

We are now using Bug Club Phonics to support our teaching of phonics and reading in school.  We will use books linked to the sounds children have learned in phonics to practise and develop reading skills.  At home the children are able to access these books and activities to further support their learning.  Each week children will be allocated e-books to access and read at home.  These will be your child's main reading books and should be read during the week.  Each book has questions or activities to do with a yellow bug icon.  The book will not be classed as completed until these tasks are done.  Children will also be able to choose and take home books each Tuesday.

Bug Club Reading

Homework: 

Spellings: We will set Spelling games on Bug Club for children to access every week. They could also practise writing the sounds and words from the games on paper or in another creative way using paints, pens, coloured pencils, in sand or mud outdoors and upload a photo on Seesaw for us to see. You can also access www.phonicsplay.com, which has a range of free resources to support your child with their phonics. 

Reading: Books will be changed on a Tuesday and E-Books will be allocated on a Wednesday. Please access reading in other ways such as through local libraries, books you have at home, 'Teach Your Monster to Read' and www.lovereading4kids.co.uk/ which enables you to access a range of books online for free. Please support your child at home by listening to them read daily. If you would like to share something about your child’s reading with us, please do so via Seesaw.

Reminders:

Drop off and pick up: Thank you for sticking to our start time of 8.45am and getting the children to school promptly each morning. It allows us to start our phonics sessions in a timely manner and therefore maximise the children’s learning. Children will finish at 3.30pm and will leave through the same entrance as the morning.

Water: Please ensure that your child has a bottle of water every day, labelled with their name, to keep them hydrated throughout the day and to drink with their lunch. We are no longer able to provide the children with cups from school.

Snack: They can bring in one small, healthy afternoon snack which will eaten during afternoon play. For example a piece of fruit or a cereal bar.

P.E kits: We will be doing PE outside as much as possible so please ensure that your child has the appropriate kit for this. Their kit can remain in school for the half term.
