Dear Parent/Guardian,

Can you believe we are in term 3 already! And what a busy term it will be for us….

Literacy

The children are coping well with their Active Literacy programmes and will continue to follow these for Spelling, Reading, Writing and Listening and Talking.

The children are still progressing well through the literacy programme, Gryffindor will read . Hufflepuff will continue to read a variety of books and work their way through the reading programme. The Potter spelling group will focus on Unit 5 and 6 of the active literacy programme, which includes the phonemes ‘ue’ and ‘ff’. The Weasley spelling group will focus on the phonemes ‘sh’ ‘y’ ‘i-e’, ‘o-e’ ‘a-e’ and ‘u-e’ as well as their weekly common words.

In writing this term children will be focusing on Recounts and Instructions. We are looking forward to writing instructions on some of the things we make for our topic.
