Please leave your child’s red home school link book in their bag as we will use these to communicate with yourselves, for sharing letters and recording your child’s reading in school.
Creative homework tasks will be sent home every half term. These are optional and will be celebrated in class, if they are brought into school.

Please use the home school links book to record any reading that your child does with you at home.

You can find phase 2 and 3 sounds in the front of your home school link book and high frequency words in the back.

7. Phonics Programme. At Seabridge we follow the Jolly Phonics programme.
You can support your child with their reading and writing by reinforcing their learning of the sounds / phonemes at home.
Jolly Phonics app available on iTunes and Google Play
as a free download.

8. Topics
Our current topic is ‘All about Me’. This will support us in getting to know your child and will allow them to discuss areas that are specifically relevant to their daily life.
We will be covering various topics throughout the year based on children’s interests.
Please do let us know if you have any specific knowledge linked to our topics as we welcome visitors to our school to support children’s continued learning and development.

9. Outdoor Learning
Children will access our outdoor area as part of their learning within the Early Years curriculum.
This includes a garden and muddy area and therefore, your child will require wellies and waterproof / protective clothing.
We apologise in advance if your child comes home with mud or other remnants of messy play on their uniform but this is all part of their learning journey.

10. Toileting.
Please ensure that your child has a spare set of clothes which can be left in school should they require them.
If your child has a toileting accident we will send wet clothes home in a carrier bag.
If your child has soiled themselves our policy is to dispose of their underwear, unless you have advised us that you wish for them to be returned.
