Phonics

We follow the Read Write Inc. phonics programme, please click here to view our phonics page

We will use our phonic skills to write independently, being authors to create our own book.

During shared reading of ‘The Night Pirate’ we will discuss how the author uses punctuation to affect the mood of the story.

We will concentrate on the formation of letters during our focussed handwriting sessions.  

Home Support: Letter Formation, please use the RWI formation sheet previously sent home.

Maths:

In Number we will be concentrating on number bonds to 10, including double facts and odds & even numbers.
