Phonics
This week we are learning to the sound’ck’. Encourage your child to say only one sound – not ‘c’ and ‘k’. We found lots of words that had the sound’ck’ and we used our knowledge of rime to help us. We made lists of words that ended with – ack, eck, ick, ock, uck.
Have fun at home! Can you think of any words that we did not find today?
Have a go of these games.
Reading
This week to help us understand what we read, we are learning to make a picture in our head as we read or listen to the words of a text, story or poem. We are learning that the picture must match closely to the words we read.
Handwriting
When you practise at home – say it out loud to aid pencil control.
Your pencil needs to follow the words and directions you say our loud .
Writing
This week we are writing a story based on ‘The Dream’. We are going to work hard on ‘Who’ is in the story and ‘What’ happens.
