# Reception Class - English - Writing about Penguins

  ![](https://files.schudio.com/darwen-st-james-c-of-e-primary-academy/images/news/IMG_3362.jpeg)   19 January 2024

Reception class have been learning all about penguins and Antarctica this half term. During our English lesson the children wrote the sentence ‘the daddy penguin hugs his baby.’
The children applied their phonetic knowledge, identifying tricky words and using their segmenting skills.
Great effort everyone!
