Phonics Parent Workshop
Here are the slides for the Reception Phonics Parent Workshop.
PE
Reception will do PE lessons on Wednesdays.
Your child should attend school on Wednesdays wearing their PE kit all day.
Water Bottles
Water bottles are provided within school. These are replenished daily with fresh water.
School Dinners
All the children in Reception are entitled to a school meal every day.
Home Readers
Children will be given a 'home reader'. This is a book that matches their developing phonics knowledge. Your child should be able to use their decoding strategies e.g. sounding out and blending to read this book to an adult. Your child may also take out a 'reading for pleasure' book from the school library. Please make sure their bag is brought to school and they bring their home reader and library book in on a Thursday so it can be changed.
Homework
Alongside Home Readers, children are assigned reading books online via Bug Club. If you have any queries about this please see the Reception team.
Phonics
In Reception, children start to be taught using the 'Letters and Sounds' programme which takes place daily. The lessons follow a clear structure of Review, Teach, Practise and Apply. Listed below are some useful resources.
