Homework

Children will be taking home a reading book and reading log each week. Please ensure children have these in their book bags each school day.

Children also have their own Tapestry Early Learning Journal online and remember you can add observations of your child from home which can count towards appropriate assessment. There is also a small yellow homework book sent home each Friday with a short activity linked to either their maths/literacy learning. This needs to be returned no later than Wednesday AM.

Phonics

At St Josephs we follow the phonics play planning structure which incorporates the joy of Jolly Phonics! The children love the songs and actions that they use to help them learn the sounds. Songs are on Youtube if you would like to have a look! We are at the stage where children are learning digraphs/trigraphs which means two/three letters that make one sound.
