Week 5

Today we welcomed Sophia to our class. It is great to have you here Sophia :)

Literacy

This week we will be working on recognising some high frequency words in our books and using our alphabet knowledge to look at the initial sounds in words. There is a small plastic bag of words in your child's book bag. This is the first set of words (Magenta) to learn to recognise. I will assess the children regularly and as they progress with their reading and learn each set of words a new one will come home.

Skipping

Mrs Brough has given us a class set of skipping ropes to use - Thank you Mrs Brough! We are practicing our skipping for fitness each day. It is great for developing coordination will even help us with our writing!
