Literacy

Phonics

Run through the sounds again then go through the first 100 high frequency words. The children need to be very familiar with both of these and should instantly be able to recognise them when they see them - so lots of practice is needed, short daily sessions are what's best.

Activity

They say Christmas is a time for giving - what do you think the important things are?

Learning objective –To discuss with an adult things you need at Christmas and things that you want at Christmas.
