This week in Forest, our Reception children went on a wonderful “Loud and Proud Walking” adventure, exploring the forest through sound. Using sticks, they tapped trees, benches and stones to discover the different noises each material made, describing what they heard with words like loud and quiet. They even tried copying the sounds with their voices before swapping their sticks for stones to see how the sounds changed. The children showed fantastic curiosity as they compared long and short sounds and discussed why objects make different noises, a wonderful muddy, hands-on session full of learning and fun.
In Phonics, we have been reviewing all of our sounds that the children have learnt. It is great to see such amazing progress from every child as they progress with their reading and writing. These are all of the sounds we have learnt so far.
