Year R Phonics, Reading and Maths evening

 

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible for our presentation next Tuesday 24th September at 6.30pm in the hall.

 

We will be sharing with you;

 

* how we teach reading through phonics

 * key information about supporting your child to learn to read 

* the basic skills needed to master Maths

Welcome!

 

We would like to say a very warm welcome to all of our new Year R children and their families.

We look forward to meeting you all on your home visits!

Letter formation and handwriting

Please find images of how to support your child in achieving the correct letter formation.

 

- lower-case letters start at the top

-dots and horizontal cross lines are added after the main part of the letter has been formed

-capital letters start at the top and go down first, the pencil is then taken off the paper to add the horizontal lines

It is extremely important that your child uses a comfortable and efficient pencil grip, even though this may not be the same as your own. This should be the pincer grip.

Climbing the tree to a better me

 

Our special tree focuses on the Social, Moral, Spiritual and Social aspect of our learning. In Year R we are practising using our manners, being a good friend and being respectful and responsible.

 

We can earn three stars for each rung of the ladder and at the end of the year we can earn a special sticker at the top of the tree for our effort in trying to show these things.

 

When we have collected three stars of the same colour we can show our certificate in assembly and our name is moved up the ladder in class to show our progress.
