Tuesday 12.01.21

The link I am adding below is the You Tube link to the RWI You Tube page. On the homepage there will be 3 sections of videos. Set 3 videos for Mrs Adeyemi's, Miss Wood's and Mr Jordan's groups. Set 2 videos for Miss Howe's and Mrs Hollingswoth's groups. Set 1 videos for Mrs Blow's group. Please watch all videos for the appropriate set of sounds.
