Unicorns - Reception

Welcome to Unicorns' phonics and literacy home learning page.
Some of the activities and resources on this page will not be able to be completed in one week and therefore will be an ongoing task for children. I will attach useful websites for children to further their phonics and literacy learning.
Please feel free to email me updates of your child's work and any questions you may have. I'm here to help! My email address is cconnor@killinghall.n-yorks.sch.uk

Home Learning Focused Tasks - WB 13.07.20
Wow we have reached the final week of Reception! You have all worked so hard over the year, both in school and at home. Miss Banks and I are so proud of everybody. This week I would like you to reflect back on the year. Your phonics and literacy will be based around this.

*The children who are attending school in either bubble can complete phonics activities 1 and 2 at home as we will complete activities 3 and 4 in school for both groups. Children can also complete literacy activity 1 at home as they will complete activity 2 in school.*

Phonics - Here are the phonics activities for this week. Remember to keep watching the Read, Write, Inc phonics videos each day which are now on at 9:30am. The have also added some spelling youtube videos too which are available at 10:15am on the same channel.
