The week ahead, by Mrs Hothersall

Date: 18th Sep 2017 @ 7:03pm

This week we are looking at the colour red. We will be reading the story of little red riding hood, thinking about the characters and setting of the story.

We are starting phonics and will learn a new sound each day the sounds this week are s, a, t, p. We should then be able to make simple words for eg. Sat, tap, pat. Yeah the start of reading.

We will be sending home the phonics packs so please encourage your child to tell you what each sound/phoneme is and then have a go at writing that letter.

In maths we are counting to 20, adding granny's cakes and having a little look at shapes.

We will be baking in Friday just like the cakes that red riding hood took to granny.

Fun, fun and more fun!

Meet the teacher, by Mrs Hothersall

Date: 12th Sep 2017 @ 4:11pm

Thank you to everyone who made it to meet the teacher. We talked about general routines, if you can start to leave your child at the door that would be great. The children have settled into school really well and this would be the next big progression.

I sent home WOW cards and class lists, we will put them in your bags if you did not attend. However there are WOW cards on the blog now for your to download.

Phonics wil start next week and we will send home phonics packs and reading books. Please try to encourage your child to read little and often, every day.

Please come along and ask if you are unsure of anything. Mrs Hothersall.
