Online Learning Materials – Wednesday 24th and Thursday 25th June
Dear families,
We are uploading work to cover the two days of school closure on Wednesday and Thursday. There are two options for each day. One option is year group specific and linked to learning that has taken place this year. The other contains more general tasks which can be suitable for children of all ages and accessed at their appropriate level. Children are very welcome to complete any of the tasks that they, or you, choose.
You are very welcome to upload any work that you complete to the Portfolio on your child’s Class Dojo profile, where their class teacher will be able to see it. This is of course optional.
Thank you
The Reception Team

Reading books
Children will bring a reading book home with them, along with their purple reading record. Please read with your child regularly. Little and often is the best way. There are some tips to support with this in the videos below. We ask that you write in your child’s reading record each time you read with them. Teachers will read with every child at least once per week and swap their book. However, books will only be swapped if there is a comment in their reading record from home.
Keywords
Children will also be coming home with a set of keywords. These are words they need to learn by sight, as most of them cannot be read phonetically. There are some ideas to support this included in the videos below.
Phonics
Children in Reception are taught to read and write through phonics. We use the Read Write Inc scheme at Bishop Road. We have made a phonics workshop video to help you understand how phonics is taught in school. We hope that you will be able to dip in and out of this during the year to help you support your child with reading and writing at home.
