Make a Word
Look at the picture and then join the sound cards to make the word. Check the children have created the word by getting them to sound out each letter.
Crocodile Crocodile
This game is called Crocodile Crocodile. Give the children some sound cards and sing the song, "Crocodile Crocodile may we cross the water, upside down in a flying saucer?" The adult then says only if you have the.... sound. If the child is holding that sound they can safely cross.
Playdough
Playdough is a great way to help your children practice their sounds. You can ask the children to make the different sounds using the playdough or you can give them a word and they must make the first sound in the word.
Silly Soup
Place some items on the table that start with the chosen sound. For example if you are learning the 'sh' sound have a shoe, sheep, sharpener and then other non 'sh' items such as apple, paper, spoon. Then sing the song, "We're making lots of silly soup, we're making soup that's silly. We're going to put it in the fridge to make it nice and chilly." children then need to add a 'sh' item to the soup.

Mosquitoes
Mosquitoes
Due to the heavy rains we are experiencing an excessive amount of mosquitoes. We are taking many precautions to protect the children from getting bitten, however they are still getting a few. We recommend that while the number of mosquitoes is high that you apply repellent. There are many different repellents that are child friendly and Tiger Balm Patches in particular are great for children as they are just small patches that can be stuck on their clothes.
School Events
School Events
As you are aware the school holds many events and appreciates all of the help and support that we receive from parents.

Please bare with us while we make the changes and look out for Do Jo messages and messages on the VLE which will keep updated on the upcoming events. We will endeavor to contact you if we require help and support with the different events.
