Welcome Back!

F3 have all returned from their half term holidays full of excitement and stories of their adventures.  Thank you to all the parents who have uploaded pictures to your child's tapestry account sharing what you have been doing at home.  Your children have been enthusiastically talking about these pictures to their friends as we show them in news time.  

F3 Office! 

To start the new half term F3 have a new role play.  Introducing the F3 office!  

Over the coming weeks we will be sharing with the children more about what happens in an office and setting them challenges to complete when they are at work.  At home you could talk about what people do in an office.

Phonics 

This week the children were taught phonics in new groups! So far all group have been taught the following sounds...

'a' 's' 'm' 't' 'd' 'i' 'n'

The children have learnt to read and write these sounds and are now beginning to blend words made up of these letters. 

Lateness 

Please can we remind you that teaching starts promptly at 8:00am in F3 so it is of great importance for you to ensure that your child arrives at school on time.  We understand that sometimes an occasional late can not be avoided but continued late arrival will impact your child's phonics learning.
