The children are delighted with their new puppets they made! They worked so hard and made each puppet so uniquely beautiful! I hope they will cherish them and keep them forever! Well done boys and girls!

Writing
Your child may have mentioned to you that we have started the formal learning of correct letter formation. The children are now well skilled in the use of pencils and have strengthened their correct pencil grip. They are also well practiced in copying the intricate patterns necessary for correct letter formation, through their regular drawing practice. I am very happy with their first efforts and over the second half of the year we will be re-visiting the letters with the focus on letter formation. This will also offer an opportunity for children to revise their letter sounds in a different context which should improve phonetic fluency.

Word Box Copies
The children will be going home with their new Word Box copies in their homework folder next week. Once your child is familiar with most of the sounds, the next step is to blend or stretch out the letter sounds to hear the word. Please encourage the children to blend smoothly by "stretching out" the sounds on one continuous breath (without any gaps) rather than choppy separating of letter sounds. They may find this difficult but it tends to just click at some point with plenty practice and repetition.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Just a reminder to please return your child's homework folder to your child's schoolbag each day so that it is brought to school everyday. Also homework readers MUST be returned every Friday so I can pass them onto the next child. Thank you.
Have a great weekend.
Kind Regards,
Ms Murray
