Please see below for a link to the Little Wandle website which will help you support your child with saying their sounds and writing their letters. There are also some useful videos so you can see how they are taught at school and feel confident about supporting their reading at home.

Autumn 1
This half term in Religious Education we have been learning about Christianity. We have been learning about what Christians believe about God and have learnt about the Creation Story. We discussed God as a 'Creator' and made our own creations using natural materials.
Autumn 2
Wrapped Up!
In Art, we have been exploring the work of the artist, William Morris. The children have been exploring his nature-inspired artwork and have learned that he was famous for 'printing'. The children have been using everyday objects to print their own repeated patterns. They have also begun sketching simple Christmas designs to make their own stamps. Once their stamps are made, they will be using them to print their own Christmas wrapping paper that they will then sell at our Christmas Fair.
Science
In Science, we have been learning all about 'Seasons' and learning which months of the year fall into which 'season'. We have been discussing the clothes that people wear during Autumn and Winter, and they had a go, in groups, at making our own Autumn and Winter clothing. The children were very creative with the materials and made some super outfits!
