We have begun our RWI lessons, starting to explore and learn our first sounds and letters. The children have been developing their phonics knowledge, beginning to recognise letters and make connections between sounds and their written forms.

We have also been practising forming letters on large sheets of paper on the floor. These large-scale movements give the children opportunities to develop their gross motor control, coordination and shoulder stability, building the foundations needed for more precise movements when writing on smaller surfaces.

What a fantastic start to our journey in RTG! We have loved finding our ACE Teddy Bears waiting to welcome us and have settled beautifully into our new classroom routines. We have also had so much fun exploring our EYFS playground, discovering new spaces to play. We are so proud of how well everyone has settled in, and we are looking forward to a wonderful year full of learning, laughter and new adventures!
