Phonics stay & Learn
Thank you to all the parents and carers who joined our phonics stay and learn on Wednesday. We hope you found it helpful! We’re sure you were impressed by the incredible progress the children have made—they really are phonics superstars! If you were unable to attend, we’ve put a copy of the presentation slides and any resources handed out during the stay & learn.
Please take a moment to complete the feedback form. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or raise them at your parent–teacher meeting next week.
Literacy
This week, we’ve been reading Great Fairies of the World by Stephanie Moss. This rhyming story introduces a range of fairy characters who have jobs that help others, such as an architect fairy, doctor fairy and engineer fairy, to name just a few!
We talked about what real-life heroes do and how they help people. Some of the children said they wanted to be real-life heroes when they’re older. They shared that they would like to be firefighters, doctors, police officers, vets, and lifeguards. The children thoroughly enjoyed learning about all the different jobs and the important roles these heroes play in helping others.
Ali – When I’m older, I would like to be a vet.
Oy – I would like to be a doctor to help people get better.
Fin – I would like to be a vet like my sister.
Imo – I would like to be a lifeguard.
Kai – I would like to be a police officer.
On Wednesday, we decided to create our own fairy wands to help us feel brave, strong, and magical in our classroom. The children enjoyed choosing their materials and decorating their wands.
In provision, we linked our fiction story to non-fiction learning by role-playing real-life heroes. The children took on different roles and explored how people in these jobs help others in the real world. We had lots of poorly patients in our role-play area!
Here’s a snapshot of fantastic learners busy tackling this week’s challenges!
