Learning to Play, Playing to Learn. Our Story so far...
Spring 1 Half Term Topic:
ROAR!
Fun with Phonics!
This half term we will continue to learn set 2 from Read Write Ink phonics. We will be learning to the name and sound of each grapheme (letter) and how to blend them to read words and segment them to spell.
Wonder Words
This half term we will continue to learn to read our Wonder Words. They have come home in sets of 10. The first 100 are grouped into 'anchors'. You will be able to use your sounds to read them, some words though don't like to follow the rules. These we call red tricky words. They try to trick you because you can't sound them out! These you have to learn by 'sight'.
Good luck, your teacher will stamp each anchor as you learn them when you come back.
Magical Maths
This half term in maths we are focusing on:
*numbers to 10 and beyond

The children are practising how to hold their pencil correctly.

Try this little trick at home to help with pencil grip. Place a pom pom in your child's hand and get them to grip it with their two fingers - whilst holding their pencil!
