Weekly Update!
Well F3 have had a very busy week! It all started with Mr John's bike breaking and the children becoming mechanics to put it back together again. Look out for Ms Chau's slide show of the children hard at work.
Phonics
F3 have started their phonic lessons. This week both F3T and F3X have learnt the sounds 'a' 's' and 'm'. In phonics the children learn the letter sounds and not the letter names for letters because this helps them when it comes to reading and writing. If you are unsure how to pronounce the sounds properly then try to down load the 'sound mat' from www.zatphonics.com as a useful tool for you and your children to learn all of the sounds.
When teaching phonics and early writing your children will learn to write lower case letters. If you are doing any writing at home please encourage the children to write lower case letters and not capital letters. They can write a capital letter for the first letter of their name but the rest of the alphabet can wait until later in the year.
Brilliant Books
On Monday please dress your child as their favourite book character! We will be joining years 1-6 in a costume parade at 8:45am. You are invited to watch the parade that will take place in the school hall.
On Friday the children will take part in 'snuggle up and read'. This is when the F3 classes join another class for a hot chocolate and marshmallow treat to share books. On Friday please put a set of Pyjamas in your child's school bag for them to wear at this time.
Busy Books
Today in the classroom the children shared what they have been doing at home in their busy books. Thank you to those of you who have encourage their children to do some activities at home. There is now a new list of suggested activities stuck in the children's busy books.
And lastly...
Thank you to all of you who have been adding observations of your children at home to your child's tapestry account. It is lovely to see what they get up to outside of school.
Have a lovely weekend

First F3 Swimming lesson in the BIG POOL!
Wow! Today the F3's had their first F3 swimming lesson in the big pool and they were incredible! Mr Ali could not believe that they had so much confidence in the water and Ms Emma was so impressed that she told Mr Ian to come down and see the children in the pool.
A big well done to all of the children!
Here are some pictures of them playing in the water at the end of their lesson.
