Phonics
We are proud to be a Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised school.
Please see the Little Wandle website for parents: https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/resources/for-parents/
Please see below for the Phonics Phase 2 and 3 sounds and tricky words we will be focusing throughout the term.
Phonics Support
Phonics is recommended as the first strategy that children should be taught in helping them learn to read. It runs alongside other teaching methods such as Reading Practice sessions and Shared Reading to help children develop all the other vital reading skills and hopefully give them a real love of reading.
So what is phonics?
Words are made up from small units of sound called phonemes. Phonics teaches children to be able to listen carefully and identify the phonemes that make up each word. This helps children to learn to read words and to spell words. These might help to understand phonics jargon…
How to support your child at home
The document below supports understanding of the seven areas of learning and development at particular ages and stage
There are six key areas of early mathematics learning, which collectively provide a platform for everything children will encounter as they progress through their maths learning at Hugglescote Primary school, and beyond:
- Cardinality and Counting
- Comparison
- Composition
- Pattern
- Shape and Space
- Measures
These areas form the fundamental mathematical basis of a CBeebies series of five-minute animated programmes called Numberblocks. We use these and the NCETM materials to draw out and build on the maths embedded in the stories contained in each episode.
