Jolly Phonics

Buying the Jolly Phonics Resource Kits has been money well spent in my opinion! It is so encouraging to find a resource that is easy to use across any year level to meet students needs and see results in a very very short time. Jolly Phonics helps children to master phonics and grow in confidence in their reading ability.

Literacy Bags Launched

A notice went home with the children in Reception, Year 1 and Year 2 this week to gain permission to sign out one of 12 new Literacy bags. Please sign the permission slip, return it to the classroom teacher and I will help your child select a Literacy Bag that is of interest to them for the week. Happy Reading!
