Phonics in The foundation stage

15th Apr 2026

The children show great enthusiasm for learning their Jolly Phonics sounds and take real pride in completing the associated activities. They thoroughly enjoy singing the action songs, practising the sounds, and applying their learning through fun, hands-on tasks. The interactive nature of the programme keeps them motivated and engaged, and they are always eager to participate and share what they have learned. This enjoyment is clearly reflected in their growing confidence with sounds and their positive attitude towards early reading and writing activities. Well done boys and girls. ❤️💚
