Phonics
|
In Reception, the children work through the teaching of our rigorous, progressive phonics programme (developed with the English Hub). Pupils are taught the letter names and sounds and how to blend and segment to read simple words and sentences. Reception children have two Guided Reading sessions a week with the class teacher, in a small group using a fully decodable book. Children take home two fully decodable books per week.

Washbrooks Farm
Children will have chance to meet and learn about a variety of little and large animals; from their smallest guinea pig to the big friendly giants, the shire horses. They will take a tractor ride and see the magnificent views of the South Downs and get a closer look at the animals grazing in the fields. Children will take a stroll along Brook Walk – a chance to spot wildlife in its natural habitat.
There are outdoor and indoor adventure play areas to make a trip even more memorable.
