For reading we all have different learning goals. Hopefully the children will tell you what it is. They will be some of the following:
- I point to each word as I say the word
- I look at the first letter of a word and get my mouth ready for the sound that letter makes.
- I look at the first letter and the last letter of a word and I use the picture to see if it makes sense what I am saying. 'does it look right, sound right, make sense'.
Week 4.
- This week we were learning the letters Ii, Nn, and Gg.
- Our word was 'the'
- Our number of the week was 3

It is very important that children in the New Entrant Class learn both the sounds and name of each letter and have the correct formation when writing them.
Please help your child to recognise the sounds and practise writing them.
Keep it fun, do a little often and enjoy!
Please feel free to ask any questions or discuss any issues at any time.
For Maths we are learning the numbers:
