English

This half term we will be exploring traditional tales including The Three Little Pigs, Jack and the Beanstalk and Rapunzel.

Little Wandle - Phonics 

All children are accessing Little Wandle Phonics within school. Children will also have a home reading book set. These will be phonetically decodable books that have been carefully matched to your child's phonic phase. If your child is reading it with little help, please do not worry that it is too easy - your child needs to develop fluency and confidence in reading.

In the classroom provision, children will develop their understanding of the following
