Phonics
In the Autumn term, the children will be learning Phase 2 sounds and how to blend sounds in order to read words, using the Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Phonics scheme. You will be given an overview of what sounds are being learnt each week at your child's home visit. To find out more about how we teach phonics, please visit our phonics page https://www.st-lukes.hants.sch.uk/phonics/.
Our Class Country
We will be learning all about England. We will investigate where it is in the world and find out facts about England.
Our Classroom Environment
Through our engaging and stimulating classroom environment, children have lots of opportunities to play, explore, learn actively, create and think critically. This area of the blog will be updated with photos as the term progresses.
