This week we have finished learning all of the sounds and tricky words that are in Phase 2. We will be starting Phase 3 straight after Christmas, so that the children have the next few weeks for consolidation. Most of the children will have brought home the final sounds for this phase today. We can really see how the children are becoming so confident with their Phonics and are very grateful for all the support you are giving at home.
I have updated the Phonics page on our class page on the school website. It now contains the sounds from Set 5. Please click on this link to find the clips: Phonics page.
In Pearl Class we have a student working with us. Miss Mortimer is in the second year of her degree and comes into class on a weekly basis. She asked me to share the following Google form with you, which is a short questionnaire along with a consent form for the research she is carrying out as part of her degree. I would be very grateful if you could take the time to support her with her degree. If you have any queries, please do ask. The Google form can be found here: Google Form or alternatively pdf versions can be found here and here.
