We are Golden and we SPARKLE
We are READERS!
Phonics is very important in Year 1 as children will take the Phonics Screening Check in the Summer Term. To support our teaching of phonics we encourage children to read at least 3x a week at home, alongside the word cards we send home with our school reading books. These are linked directly with the phonemes the children have been learning that week
We are WRITERS!
In Autumn 1, we will be focusing on writing labels and captions and will begin writing simple sentences remembering to include, capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Our theme is ‘Under the Sea’ and our key text is ‘Billy’s Bucket’ by Kes Gray. If you want to listen along to the story at home scan the QR code above!
