Letterland is a child-friendly phonics programme which we use in Room One to learn the sounds and letter names. We cover a few new letters each week. I have sent home a sheet introducing each letter's character. The children love the activities and the programme helps with writing, spelling and handwriting development.
We have songs and poems about the letterland characters to help us remember their names, sounds and how to write them.
We have started swimming and so far we are having a great time. The children have all been assessed by their instructors and have been placed in appropriate groups. The free swim time in the splash pool is also being enjoyed by all the children.
