Phonics: Letters and Sounds The document we follow to teach the children letter sounds, high frequency words and tricky words. Phase One We begin and recap this before Phase 2 teaching. Begin at Phase Two and move through to Phase Four at the children s pace. Continues into KS1 Phase 5 and 6. We hope to hold a Phonics workshop for parents.
Reading Books Reading books will be sent home in the first few weeks after starting. At first it will be a book of their choice from our book corner. Children will be given their own reading record. Please write in it when your child has read to you or when you ve discussed their reading book. Once our phonics teaching has begun, we will hear the children read individually once a week. We will write in their diary when their book change day will be. But, please make sure their reading record and book in in school in their book bag daily. Children will bring home phonetic books for them to apply their phonics learning and try to read their books.
Behaviour, Rules, Routines and Expectations. The first half term will be spent settling children in, setting expectations and creating a whole class ethos and culture. Restorative Approach focus primarily on praise and recover. Behaviour policy is available on school website. We will celebrate children s good behaviour and acts of kindness and helpfulness. We will use our Valley Vibe values to encourage and show examples of good behaviour. There will be a Star of the Day awarded each day.
