Please find the videos below to watch with your child at home to help them develop their recognition of sounds and blending skills.

This week we will be learning the sounds i , n, m and d. We will be sending home a sheet for you to practise last weeks sounds with your child. Please find the videos to the sounds we will be learning- it would be great if you could watch these to support your child’s learning.

Next week we will be starting our phonics lessons with the children. Each week we will send out the links to the lessons that go with the sounds we will be learning. It would be great if you could watch these with your children at home to support them in their phonics learning!

As we come to the end of the year, we just wanted to say a massive thank you for your support with your child’s reading and phonics learning this year. The children have all come a long way since September and your help has been invaluable. Check out the Little Wandle YouTube channel if you want to fit in any more phonics practise over the summer- there are lots of home learning videos for you to have a look at!

We are incredibly proud of how well the children have done this year with their phonics. For the final few weeks, we will be having a focus on writing words and sentences that contain phase 2 and phase 3 sounds. Thank you for all your support this year.

We have recently had a check on how we are getting on with our phonics and some of the children might have changed groups!

Mrs Croft’s group will be working on sh ch th.

Mrs McEvoy’s group with be working on oo (moon) oo (book) ar or.

Mrs Garraway’s group will be working on revising the following sounds: ai ee igh oo oa ar or ur ow oi ear.

Mrs Mackeen’s group will be working on cvcc words. (consonant-vowel-consonant-consonant e.g. tent)

The children have shown us just how good they are at using the sounds they know to read words. We are now focussing more on using these sounds when writing words and simple sentences. It would be great if alongside your child’s four times a week reading, if you could practise writing words that follow what your child has been working on in their group.

This week, we have been assessing the children’s knowledge of the phase 3 sounds and their ability to read a variety of words containing these sounds. We have been really pleased with how all of the children have got on.
