Dear Parent/carer

We all love to read and share a story.

I’ve been watching Emily MacKenzie draw her famous character Granville and I thought that you might want to give it a try! You can watch the Authors Live video by following the link below.

At Uphall Primary School we use a range of learning programmes to support children as they learn new skills.

Literacy and Language

• We use the Vowel House and Colourful Consonant approach when learning phonics. This approach links colour, actions and shapes to help children learn new sounds and blend them together to read words.
• We use Oxford Reading Tree books to support the development of reading skills
• To support children to develop their detailed drawing and writing skills we use Foundations of Writing and PM writing.
• At Uphall we teach cursive handwriting throughout our school

Numeracy and Mathematics

• This session we have been using the Numberblocks to support children learn about how numbers are made
• We use a SEAL (stages of early arithmetical learning) approach to the teaching of numeracy skills using counters, dice patterns, rods, Numicon and Rekenreks to develop children’s understanding.
• We make the most of our outdoor space and real life contexts to support the development of mathematical skills

Health and Wellbeing

• At Uphall we use emotion works to support our children to identify and talk about their emotions using visual prompts to discuss feelings and possible solutions
• All of our children have identified trusted adults that they can talk to
• We use our outdoor space to build dens and explore nature
• Children participate in PE indoors and outdoors, learning and developing their skills

More information about these learning programmes and ways you can support your child at home to develop their learning will be issued during the school session.

Hello Everyone!

I hope that you are all well and ready for our transition activities for this week.
