What's Happening?
The summer term is here!
We have lots of excitement building up over our transport visitors! If you have an interesting vehicle and would like to bring it in we would be very grateful!
We have our school trip coming up, where the children will learn about old transport. They will get to experience a range of different vehicles.
PLease make sure your child is coming into school everyday with a water bottle in this 'hot' weather. We will refill bottles if the children drink it all. Please apply sun cream in the morning before your child comes to school. They can bring their own sun cream in to apply at lunchtime but staff are not permitted to apply it. The children will need to do this themselves.
If your child hasn't got PE shoes in their bag, please can you send these in.
Wheels, Wheels, Wheels
Our local police officer has written to us requesting our help. He needs to find out about transport in the local community. We will be exploring different vehicles and we are looking forward to welcoming in lots of visitors! We will look at the history of transport and learn to create timelines for the different vehicles. A traffic survey will be conducted to see which vehicles travel along the Fernhill Road. This will be done from the safety of our school! All the information we learn will be used to create a museum for parents to come and explore in our outcome.

Vocabulary
During this project, we will be introducing the children to some specific vocabulary. The children will learn a definition for each of the vocabulary words and will learn to use them orally in sentences. Please explore these words with your child.

Phonics
There are no new phonemes to learn in Year R. Your child has all the sound cards they need for Year R. PLease can you keep practising these as the children need to be secure with these sounds by the end of the year. We will be re-visiting these sounds regularly over the next term and a half.
The children will be learning to read words with digraphs and trigraphs in them. They need to notice these digraphs/trigraphs before they sound talk the words.
During our phonics lessons we are now learning to spell words with these digraphs in them.
We will use lots of play opportunities to reinforce our phonics and tricky words.
We have created some videos to help parents support learning at home. These can be accessed on this website. Click on the 'Children' tab and then on 'School Video'. You need the 'Teaching Phonics' videos. You can also access them via the link below the image.
