Autumn 1 Week 6

This week in Reception, the children have been introduced to the story of ‘Two Grannies‘ by Floella Benjamin. Please see a link below to an online version of the story;

The children have been drawing some lovely pictures of their families and talking about their family members through circle times. In phonics, the children have been learning the following letters and sounds; p, i and n. You can play games such as ‘I Spy’ to help your child learn these sounds. Please use the following sheet for guidance on the progression of sounds;

Please remember about the importance of reading at home. We will try to change their reading for pleasure books twice a week and their phonics books once a week. Please encourage your child to;

• talk about what they see in the pictures
• make links from the book to their own experiences
• enjoy a storybook every day, making it part of their daily routine

Finally, we have sent you a link to connect to Class Dojo. Please join for further updates and messages.

Thank you for your continuous support
