Questions to ask when reading It is important that reading a book is not just about reading the words on a page. Children should be asked questions to further their understanding of the book. • What might happen next? • How do you think … feels? • Why is … important? • What happened at the beginning? • What does … mean?
Phonics • Children have now started phase 2 phonics • Leaning letters and the sounds they make • Reading words by sounding out and blending together. • Tricky words you just have to recognise
Phonics games • Each week a new phonics game will be sent home to go with the sounds / words we have learnt in the week. • Children to tell you the sounds on the front and then try to read the words on the back. • To help children to remember and apply their phonic knowledge when reading.
Early Years Foundation Stage • 17 early learning goals • Children will be emerging, expected or exceeding in each goal at the end of the year. • Children who are exceeding will be accessing National Curriculum work. • Learning Journeys will evidence the children’s progress. • Parental input into Learning Journeys is important – own section. • Please fill out a speech bubble before you leave.
Behaviour Management • Positive Policy • Golden Time – usually shared with other classes and teachers. • 10 Flag system – moving down a number means losing a minute of Golden Time. • 4 Class Rules – Hands up, caring, sharing, listening. • House points as a reward
Any Questions? • If you have any questions please feel free to stay and I will try to answer them for you. • I am generally available before and after school to talk to you too.
