The children are whizzing through our phonics programme and just adore our daily session with Fred the Frog! Thank you so much for all you have been doing at home to support us too! We have been working our way through our 31 'Set 1 Sounds' and by the time we break up in October, we will have completed all but 2 of them! Wow!

We thought you might find the following video clip useful to give you some helpful tips when helping your child at home. It features Ruth Miskin who created the 'Read Write Inc' Scheme... this is what we use in school.
