From the pictures below, I'm sure you can see that Forest school has been the highlight of our week during this half term!
Reading & Phonics
It is really important for children to read regularly at home. It's also great practice for children to listen to stories being read to them. Try to read for a few minutes every day and record it in your child's reading record. If your child has 5 reading entries in a week, they will be entered into our school reading raffle which is drawn every half term! They could win the opportunity to choose a book of their own to the value of £10.
Please see the link below to the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds parent help page for tips on how to help your child with phonics at home.
