Practising sounds and becoming aware of letters whilst playing teachers. This is 'Mrs Ayling'!Year 1s have begun a new topic in Literacy this week. They are looking at non-fiction writing and investigating labels, lists and captions. We began this topic by talking about our favourite item of clothing. Later this week and during next week we will be looking at clothing labels and shop sale captions.
Reception have shown a real interest in digging, planting and growing so today they talked about growing plants with Mrs Wallace and had compost, gloves and seeds to be gardeners outside. We were also looking at one more, which the children really enjoyed and we introduced the idea of a number sentence to record one more e.g. 3 + 1 = 4.
Today Reception began their first phonics lesson and were introduced to the letter 's'. This is now in their book bag to practise the action and write the letter each night. Please note that the sound is not 's' pronounced with an 'u' after it. It is pronounced 'ssssssssss' like the sound a snake would make. We will cover 4 sounds each week.
