During the Autumn term we learnt about how to be a friend and found out about where we live.  We looked at places in the local community and found out about people who help us.   We also found out about what happens "When I go to sleep" learning about nightime animals, space and our planet as well as festivals and celebrations. 

Our topic focuses for Autumn term.

When your child reaches Reception they will begin to follow the Read Write Inc phonics programme.  You will be invited to come and join us for a phonics session following a meeting to find out how your child learns their sounds.  Phonics is taught every day within the class.

Your child will bring home a sound mat to practise saying the sounds at home as well as handwriting practice sheets each week.  Videos for links to how to say the sounds can be found on our EYFS Newsletter.

More information about Read Write Inc can be found here on the parent information link:  shorturl.at/DJUWY 

Nursery children also have a daily phonics session which explores sounds around them, rhythm and rhyme as well as sound talk which looks at blending and segmenting sounds they can hear eg h-a-t is hat.

At Lakeside we want every child to have the opportunity to learn to read and develop a love of reading.  

The children will have the opportunity to bring home a library book to share with their adult at home.  

Here is a little video which explains why it is important to read: shorturl.at/cGO89

Reading opens doors to other worlds and supports developing imagination.

Reading is a treat.
