We hope that you are enjoying reading with your children now we have started to send their books home with them. Please write a comment in your child's diary when you have heard them read.

 

Through our assessments, we have noticed that lots of the children are struggling to blend sounds together. This means, they can say the sounds individually, C-A-T, but then can't read the whole word as 'cat.' You can play games like this...: 

Balloon Phonics Game

teach your monster to read

...to help them with this skill!

Reception Long Term Plan

Joining the Library

 

We believe that stories and reading is one of the most important things to share and we wouldn't want anyone to miss out. Joining the library and borrowing books is completely free. Our closest library is on Narborough Road (although there are lots of libraries all over the city). There are no forms to fill in, just drop in with some proof of ID. Why not pop in after nursery? You can join for free and start borrowing today!

 

You can find out more information about our nearest library, Westcotes, by clicking below:

PE day is Thursday. Children will need black shorts, white t-shirt and black pumps

We will change the children's books every Thursday.

Every Friday is Fun Friday. We go to Forest School and the children will need appropriate clothing for the weather.
