WRITING

 

 

We are nearing the end of our first writing journey, using the book Grandad's Island. The children have been so engaged with this book and have loved acting parts of it out.

At home, maybe allow your child to listen to the story by the author , Benji Davies and then retell the story to you.

 

READING

 

We have been using a website called Vooks again this week, listening to different stories online. 

At home, maybe you could try and sign up to this website so you can have access to some different books.

The spelling pattern for this week is the -j sound but with the spelling pattern -g

The words to be practised this week are:

At home, allow your child time to practise these, ready for their spelling test on Friday.

 

PHONICS

 

We have been continuing our practise of phonics this week, working on the following sounds;

ow (as in the word cow)

ar (as in the word car)

 

At home, maybe get your child to see if they can find any words with these sounds in.
