Welcome!

A huge welcome to our newest members of our Leesland Family.  We are really looking forward to all getting back together again. We have so much planned, there will be lots of stories, playing, laughing and learning together. Please check this page to see updates of what we have been doing as well as on your tapestry. We well also add support for learning ideas at home here too.

 Autumn Term Half Term's Topic:

Fantasy and Fairy Tales

Fun with Phonics!

This half  term we will be using Phase 1 from Letters and Sounds. We will be learning to discriminate sounds in the environment and using our bodies and instruments. This will help us to hear t he different sounds in words.

Wonder Words

This half term we will start learning to read some Wonder Words. They will come home in sets of 10. The first 100 are grouped into 'anchors'. You will be able to use your sounds to read them as we start learning the letter sounds. 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.

Magical Maths

This half term in maths we are focusing on:

*numbers to 10  

Ask your child's teacher for ideas to support this at home.

Tricky Word Games

Getting Ready to Write

 The children are practising how to hold their pencil correctly.

This is how we practise holding our pencil here at Leesland...

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!

Learning together through play!

The children love choosing their own ways to learn, explore and challenge themselves - and so do we!
