Another fantastic week in Pearl Class. We have now clocked up 40 days in school! This week we learnt our first 2 tricky words and found out what a digraph is. We also created another new display in class, drawing pictures of our families.
I have updated the Phonics page on our class page on the school website. It now contains the sounds from Set 4. (Including the very exciting digraph!) Please click on this link to find the clips: Phonics page.
The school office have asked me to remind you about a couple of forms that need completing. The first is the parent consent form. The form can be found by clicking the link: Parental Consent Form
There is also a Home/School agreement. This sets our everyone's responsibilities and expectations. This can be found by clicking the link: Home School Agreement
Further information can be found in this week's newsletter. Please could any completed forms by emailed to office@downhall.essex.sch.uk, many thanks.
