Phonics:
Phonics is one of the most important lessons we teach in Nightingale Class. It allows the children to become independent readers and writers and they love learning the new sounds!
If you would like to turn the tables and invite your children to become your phonic teachers during this home schooling process here are the links to the sound cards we use in school - set 1, set 2&3.
Don't forget that there are loads of games on phonics play to help you learn and revise these sounds! 

Useful websites and apps for Diamond Class children:
