Cursive writing
Reading in Reception is coming along well. Mrs Saeed and Mrs Bugg are impressed with the progress the children are making and the effort that everyone is putting in to practising the letter sounds and reading the words at home. We have almost learnt the alphabet sounds – just j,v,w,x,y,z and qu to go and inevitably some children are now ready to begin writing words, captions and sentences.
In school we use the cursive script for writing and the children will soon be taught how each letter is formed but, to get a head start, here is a video that shows you how we write each letter. Please be aware that we form x and z slightly differently in school to what you see in the video.
Enjoy!
Phonics information for parents
Thank you everyone who came along to our Phonics Meeting. Here is the powerpoint we used, a link to the correct articulation of phonemes, a leaflet of useful information and links to useful sites to help.
Aqua Class Assembly
Here is the video of the children that was shown at the assembly for anyone who missed it.
Grandparents Afternoon Tea
Afternoon tea for Grandparents is only two weeks away on the 28th June. Please make sure that you have returned your completed letter to let us know who is coming and whether any of you can help during the afternoon to serve tea and coffee.
You are welcome to invite as many grandparents as you wish.
No afternoon tea is complete without cakes so we will be asking for a donation of cakes for the event. Please send them in on the Thursday morning.
Thank you in advance
Mrs Saeed and Mrs Bugg
