The story Handa’s Surprise to enable the children to try some exotic foods and learn where in the world they come from and food printing. A greengrocer’s shop to promote healthy foods

We are continuing to learn our letter sounds. There are a lot to learn so the more you do at home the easier this will be! The website https://home.oxfordowl.co.uk/reading/learn-to-read-phonics/ is really helpful and goes through the sounds in the order we are learning them. The centre pages of your reading record also has the order of the sounds.
