Phonics
This week we are learning the initial sounds ‘d’ and ‘e’.
What can you find at home that begins with these sounds?
Have a go at this initial sounds game.
Have a go at making a word building game at home. Use milk bottle lids and write the sounds we have learned on the lids. With the lids you can try to build words.
Numeracy
We have been really focussing in on the number before/one less than… this week along with counting back.
Have a go as you walk to school!
Use the paint the square game. Ask someone at home to give you a number and you paint the number that comes before.
Talk for Writing – Jungle story telling
We will be telling our own stories this week substituting the animals in ‘The Little Brown Monkey’ with our own choice of animals.
We will practise adding detail to draw the animals in our own story.
Reading
No new books this week but keep having fun with books. We will collect reading books on Wednesday and give out new books after the holidays.
Keep practising the sight words and sounds in your yellow books 🙂
