We will be looking at preparing our garden for planting and starting off any seeds in the Spring term. We will be encouraging the children to prepare our garden for planting and growing food in which they can eat.

Some of our recent work -
Phonics
In Phonics we have now learnt all of the sounds that we will cover in Reception. We are now moving onto using sounds in our writing and segmenting and blending longer words and 'chunking up'.
Below you will find a copy of our sound mat that we use in our Phonics lessons and during free-flow play.
Tricky words
We have learnt a number of Tricky Words in our Phonics sessions, these are words that cannot not be sounded out and the children have to recognise them by sight. Could you please practise these at home with your child. You will find a copy of everything we have learnt in Phonics below including all of our Tricky Words.
Next Half term
Next Half term our final topic will be 'On the Beach'.
