Welcome back!

We are all looking forward to seeing you all on Monday 8th March where we can continue our learning together! A big well done for all your hard work whilst home learning - we are all so proud of you! 

Reminders:

• Please make sure all clothing items are clearly labelled with your child's name.
• A reusable water bottle should be named and brought into school daily for your child.
• Children must have PE kits in school at all times (again, clearly labelled).
• Reading books are changed on their 'reader day'. Please make sure you comment in the books once completed so that we know they are ready to be changed. 
• Homework is given out on Fridays and is due back on the following Wednesday. 

Home Learning 2021

Term 4

Home learning can be found further down this page. Please read the letter which explains the learning for each day - we have given you three lessons to complete each day. Please take a picture of your work and try and email it over to your class email address at the end of each day so that we can have a look at and respond to your wonderful work. Remember you don’t need to print all of the information and activity sheets out, you can just use the information and respond on paper.

If you have any questions then please also email the class email address where we will be happy to help you.

We hope you continue to work hard, stay safe and remain positive during this tricky time. We cannot wait to see you all as soon as it is safe to do so.

General Phonics Information

 By the end of Year 1, we are aiming for children to be secure in using all the sounds from Phase 2 to Phase 5 in their reading.   One of the best ways of becoming secure in these sounds is using flashcards daily.

Please refer to the information booklet below if you would like some ideas for phonics activities. There is also a useful glossary of phonics terms. We have also included all the sounds mats for your use.

Phonics and Reading Websites

Please log in to our reading scheme called Bug Club. The website is: www.activelearnprimary.co.uk 

The scheme has a comprehensive collection of high quality reading books for the children to read at home. In your child’s reading record, there is a login in and password so your child can access this resource at home. If you have any issues with your child’s login and/or password, please speak to your child’s teacher.

There are lots of useful websites with phonics information and games. Here are a range of different ones you could use at home:

DfE letters and sounds home learning lessons - daily lessons on YouTube

The Letters and Sounds website has lots of information, resources and games linked to each of the phonics phases.

Oxford Owl has a whole selection of free eBooks, some with linked activities. These are banded according to age group.

We like Mr Thorne does Phonics.  This is a link to his YouTube channel so be aware there may be adverts/videos may auto play.

Phonics Play has a selection of free and fun resources you can use at home with your child. It also gives you the option to create your own account on the website however this will need to be paid for. 

To access daily lessons that makes phonics learning easier please watch videos and read flashcards on Monster Phonics: https://monsterphonics.com/home-learning-in-the-covid-19-lockdown/year-1-home-learning/

Another fabulous link  to aid your phonics learning: https://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDFqXo8hEdBH7WarYB9Xw7xQK-LUC8r3h

Have fun with phonics!
