Can you try and describe the any characters that are in your story?

We can’t wait to read all the exciting stories you have been writing.

Good Luck!

'Phonics is a way of teaching children to learn to read quickly and skillfully.' DoE 2013. 

We are working hard to learn all our different phonic sounds. The children will be bringing home sound mats, words and games to support their learning in a fun way.

Please encourage the children to use these as often as possible.

We use 'alien words' each day to practise segmenting and blending sounds. These words are made up and really make us think about the sounds that we can see.
