Class Information

Learning in Oak class is made up of Teacher directed and Child led activities. To support independent learning, our class has rainbow challenges which encourage children to achieve tasks by the end of each week. These are carefully planned to support learning in all curriculum areas for Reception and Year 1 children.  If children suceed in their rainbow challenges, they are welcome to bring in a cuddly toy the following Monday. 

Phonics

Saint Edmund's follow the Essential Letters and Sounds (ELS) scheme to teach synthetic phonics which supports children in learning to read. Reception and Year 1 are split for daily phonics lessons. In order to support your child at home, please find additional resources here including the correct pronounciation of sounds for each phase. Essential Letters and Sounds - Oxford Owl Children are frequently assessed to move learning forward, so all home support is appreciated.
