Dear Parents/Guardians,
As you are aware, Reception, Year 1A and Year 1B take part in three phonics sessions per week, with a mix of children from all three classes. You will also be aware that your child takes home 5-10 spellings per week given to them by their class teacher. These spellings are differentiated based on your child's spelling ability.
Having discussed this with Mr.Richardson, we have decided to be more consistent with the spellings that your child takes home and we would like for these to be more in line with what they are learning in Phonics. For example, if your child is learning the 'ar' sound in Phonics, they will receive spelling such as far, car, star, start etc. On Tuesday 8th April, your child will be given a new list of spellings to have learnt by the following Monday.
If you have any questions or concerns about this, please don't hesitate to contact me. You can email me at mrmeehan@think.edu.hk
Regards,
Mr.Meehan
