 Phonics/Spellings:

In River Class, we are currently working on spelling our common exception words. The children have been assessed and are in two groups, either working on Year 2 or Year 3&4 common exception words. I have sent home a copy of the words with children in their school bags so please encourage children to read them and spell them. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact me.

English

This academic year in River Class, your child will be given many opportunities to practice their Reading, Writing Transcription, Writing Comprehension, Spelling & Grammar.

We will be writing for a range of purposes and audiences.

In the Spring term our English text will be The Water Tower by Gary Crew.

We will use these texts to aid book discussions and base our writing activities on.
