Phonics
For those children moving onto Reception Year in September we have started to look at letters and the sounds they make. We follow the Jolly Phonics method of teaching the letter sounds by using objects, actions and songs. While it is important that children know the 'names' of the letters it is crucial that they know the sounds that each letter makes as this is an integral part of learning to read.
Here is a link to the Jolly Phonics website if you'd like to know more about this way of learning https://www.jollylearning.co.uk/
This week we will be consolidating our knowledge so far.
Focus Activity
We will be playing some board games to practice our turn taking skills, our listening skills and our ability to follow and understand instructions.
Country of the Week
For the first few weeks of this term we will be talking about different countries, when we would visit them and how we would get there. This week we will be looking at Italy. We will be talking about the differences between the language spoken by ourselves and by people living in Italy.
Baking Activity
This week we will be making min pizza's; a fun activity using mini wraps as our base and then adding some Italian inspired ingredients.
We hope this information is of use but please get in touch if you have any questions.
