In Autumn 1, we are going to be reading a wide range of Julia Donaldson stories including; Monkey Puzzle, The Gruffalo, Snail on the Whale, The Scarecrows Wedding and Zog. These stories will influence the writing that children do over the next half term as well as being used for the illustrations as we study Axel Scheffler in our art lessons.

Little Wandle

Little Wandle is out new, approved phonics scheme which is used for early reading. If you visitwww.Littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk you will have free access to parent information for best supportingyour children at home with reading. There are some additional files attached to this page for guidance on graphemes that you child will be learning. 

Your child will be sent home with one reading book per week from the Big Cat reading book scheme. This is matched to our Little Wandle phonics scheme and means that each book is matched to the correct level your child is working at. The aim is children will read their book three times at home over the course of the week, then return their book on Friday ready to have their book changed. Children are also encouraged to read for pleasure any books they already have, this can include sharing a story with a family member, friend or sibling.
