Our Learning - Autumn 1
The Curriculum Overview below gives details of what Holly Leaves are learning this term.
PE

Our PE day is Thursday. We ask that children come to school dressed in appropriate PE kit:

  • Black shorts/track suit bottoms
  • T-shirt in your house colour (red, green, blue, yellow) - no logos please
  • School jumper/cardigan 
  • Trainers/daps which must remain in school

Earrings and watches MUST be REMOVED for all PE lessons.

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.
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.
