Reception

Due to the recent news around school closures, please find relevant learning documents for you to complete with your child. The expectation is that these tasks will be completed daily in the workbooks that we are sending home. Along with the home learning tasks, it is expected that you will also complete the following:

• Reading - your child must read at least three times a week and record this in their reading record. These can be reading books advised by the school, or books which you already have at home.
• Sight words - keep practising the sight words with your child. Once they can recall them, practise writing them and putting them into sentences.
• Phonics - please use the notebook sent via email or the ppt file attached below when teaching your child a new sound. We will be emailing/uploading phonics lessons on a weekly basis. Please teach one sound a week.

We expect your child to bring in their workbook when we return to school so that we can monitor their learning at home. If you have any questions about certain activities, please email the school office or add your question as an observation to Tapestry.
