Purple Class

Literacy and Communication

Purple Class are following the Little Wandle phonics programme and will continue to progress through the phases at a pace suited to each child’s level.

The pupils read daily and use their phonics sounds to learn new words and vocabulary. They are also developing their handwriting by practising letter formation and writing short sentences and phrases. As we explore new aspects of our topic, we will incorporate these into our literacy activities, including opportunities for role play.
