Gardening and Phonics


Hello everyone,

You may have seen our current efforts in the garden when you come to drop-off and pick up. We have been very busy planting different kinds of vegetables and have now started to plant flowers too! The children have been keen to help out with different jobs in the garden. Today we dug a space into the ground so we could put our broad beans in. We will continue to add different things to the garden as the summer settles in! 

In phonics this week we have been looking at words that have consonant blends at the beginning i.e. spend, gift, splash. These consonant blends can be quite tricky to hear and read to begin with but we will be sending home books that will hopefully help to tackle this! The children have started very positively to the new tricky words too! We have been looking at 'have', 'come', 'some', 'what'. Again, these are hard to remember to begin with so we will be giving children lots of opportunities to practise them.
