Word Wizard Workshop and Celebration

19th Mar 2026

Today we celebrated the end of the Word Wizard programme in Miss Lavery's class. Mrs Sims and the children worked very hard over the last 6 weeks learning to read and write the  Jolly Phonics tricky words. Family members joined us today as we shared lots of strategies and games that made learning active and fun. The children were delighted to receive their certificates and the Word Wizard pack. Thank you to the parents/guardians for their enthusiasm and support.
