Drawing Club
In Holly Leaves we use 'Drawing Club' to support writing development.  Children are keen to hear new stories and think about how we can use them to help us write.  We love to create Fun codes (words and sentences) to go with our drawings.  Children in Holly Leaves are always excited to write! Have a look below to see some of the children's amazing creations.
Phonics
We follow the phonics scheme Little Wandle Letters and Sounds Revised. For more information about this, including some very helpful videos modelling the sounds please follow the link below.
 We are currently learning the Spring 1 content.
Tricky Words
'Tricky words’ are words that cannot easily be decoded (‘sounded out’ and read). This is because some of the sounds in the words are spelled in an unusual way. It is important for children to be able to read these words as they are among the most common words in English.
