Welcome back!

Welcome back! I hope you've all had a wonderful Christmas and a well deserved rest! This week the children have been learning circus skills from the help of Steve and Jacqui. As some of you might have seen today, the children have put on a performance showing all the new skills they have learnt in the last few days. I have to say they all did absolutely brilliantly, so a big well done to reception class!

This term our topic is 'Fairy tales' and we will be reading lots of different fairy tales and doing topic related activities. Also, as you already know, later on in the month we will be going on a school trip to Warwick Castle. This term we will also be starting Phase 3 of Letters and Sounds in our phonics sessions. This means that the children will be taking new sound cards and tricky words home with them again. Please go through your child's sound cards and tricky words with them regularly. I would also like to remind you to listen to your child read every night. I know that this can be difficult with the busy lifestyles we all lead, but including it as part of your daily routine might make it easier.

Have a brilliant weekend,

Miss Houlihan x
