Summer Term 2025
Story Craft Theatre December 2024
All the children in the EYFS & KS1 had a great morning when The Story Craft Theatre group visited us to perform their story of the Ginger Bread. Man. They used some excellent real and shadow puppets and shared with us workshops on how make and move our own puppets.
Phonics
We use Jolly Phonics to teach sounds to the children in Reception
Your child will be sent home with a phonics book and a reading book to share at the end of Autumn Term 1. We ask that you practice phonics sounds and reading with your child at least three times per week and sign their reading record.
Please find attached below information about the importance of sharing books with your child and ways to support you to do this.
