Wow! What an amazing week of rehearsals and shows! Reception have worked so hard over the last few weeks, meticulously practising lines, learning dance routines and singing songs. We couldn’t be prouder of how well they performed to such large audiences!
Here are just a few snapshots of our wonderful show! Please take time to celebrate your child’s part in the nativity and discuss all the things you both enjoyed about the performance!
Phonics:
This week has been a review week, where we revisit all of the sounds we have learned this half term. We are very proud of how well the children are doing at picking up these new digraphs (two letters that make one sound, e.g. ee, ai, oa).
If you have any extra time to play games, it would help all the children to practise the Harder to Read and Spell words (HRSW). The children know that HRSW are words that cannot be sounded out – you, me, push, pull etc). You might like to hide them around your house as a treasure hunt for your child to find or place them for your child to read each time they go up the stairs! Learning to recognise these words by sight will help your child immensely when they are learning to read full sentences and longer books.
