SUMMER TERM
Stories from around the World
Our topic this term is "Stories from around the World". We have already begun reading stories from Africa, and will be taking our journey to lots of other places!
We have an "International Supermarket" role play area in class. If you have empty and clean containers reflecting different cultures could you please bring them into school.
Here are some songs you can practise at home:
Phonics
In Reception we begin by practising our listening skills and developing our language for the first couple of weeks We then move to learning "sounds" that letters make as well as beginning to learn the names of letters. We follow the Read Write Inc scheme, and the children learn the sounds in this order:
These are the Set 1 Speed Sounds written with one letter:

Encourage children to blend sounds together when reading to form words and to segment words ("pull the sounds apart") when writing.

Stories and reading at home
We encourage reading at home as much as possible. We encourage reading for enjoyment as well as to support learning. Children receive different coloured leaves for the amount of books they have read.
In school we read a variety of stories and non-fiction books to support the children's love of reading. We also learn a different story each term, where the children learn actions and the vocabulary of the story. We are currently learning "The 3 Little Pigs".
The children can practise this story at home and show you some of the actions they have learnt to support your child here:
