Phonics
In the Autumn term, your child will learn to say and read all the single letter sounds and some consonant digraphs (two letters that make one sound eg th, sh). They will be taught to blend sounds together to read words. They will also learn some tricky words. At first, they will explore wordless books and, when they can blend sounds into words, they will read Phase 2 books. We will provide your child with daily additional practice if they need it.

Our Class Country
We will be learning all about England. We will investigate where it is in the world and find out facts about England.
Our Classroom Environment
Through our engaging and stimulating classroom environment, children have lots of opportunities to play, explore, learn actively, create and think critically. This area of the blog will be updated with photos as the term progresses.
