Early Years (Pippins)

On this page, you will find an overview of what is being taught each half term, the phonics home learning, being taught in your child’s class, the cued articulation (the action to go with this sound) and guidance on how to carry it out, as well as letter formation guidance.

In addition, you will find each class’s topic home learning, telling you what they are exploring in class, and the questions that they endeavour to answer.

Please see your class teacher, if you require any further information.

Half termly overviews

Phonics 

Spring

This half term, we are introducing children to digraphs and trigraphs (please see our phonics glossary below to find out what these words mean).

This children will be taught the sounds alongside rhymes and actions to help them to remember them.

During phonics, we will be focussing on the skills of segmenting (breaking down the sounds) words and blending them back to read e.g. c-a-t to read cat.
