ROOMS 1 & 2
Continuous Reporting Focus – English
Room 1
This term in Room 1, we are building our literacy skills through a range of engaging activities. Students are learning letter sounds through fun phonics songs, developing their fine motor skills with mark making and tracing, and practising correct letter formation during handwriting sessions.
We are also exploring functional literacy in our phonics books, helping students make meaningful connections between letters, sounds and everyday print. During shared reading, we have been enjoying the story Piranhas Don’t Eat Bananas, using it to develop listening, comprehension, vocabulary and a love of reading.
Room 2
This term in Room 2, we have begun our shared reading sessions using The Very Hungry Caterpillar’s Wild Animal Hide-and-Seek: A Finger Trail Lift-the-Flap Book through the ALD (Assisted Language Displays) approach.
As we explore the story together, students are building their vocabulary, developing their communication skills, and enjoying interactive discussions about the animals and their habitats. We are also revisiting the SATPIN phonics sounds (s, a, t, p, i, n) to strengthen letter-sound knowledge and support early reading and writing skills.
We look forward to continuing to build students’ confidence and enthusiasm for reading throughout the term!
