Phonics
We will be learning the new sounds ur (as in hurt) and ow (as in town). We will be learning the sound of the digraphs, how to write them and also applying them to words and sentences. Activity sheets and word lists will be handed out this week for you to practise at home.
Tricky word - THEY.
There are some great free games on www.phonicsplay.co.uk that your child can play at home to help with their reading and writing. Look at the Phase 2 and Phase 3 games. If you would like to make some flashcards etc or prin some things off to support your child's learning, there are some great resources on www.sparklebox.co.uk At the top of the website, click on literacy, then click on DfES Letters and Sounds.
Maths
We are continuing to work out number addition sentences using pictures to support. You can try different problems at home by getting your child to count objects at home e.g. I have 4 forks and 5 knives, how many do I have altogether? Your child can then count out 4 forks and 5 knives and then count how many they have altogether. Encourage them to write it as a number sentence 4+5 = 9 when they have worked out the answer. Again their are some great resources on sparklebox.co.uk. to help support your child.
Another great website that has interactive games for your child to play is
www.ictgames.com
Reading Books
We will be changing reading books on Monday for those children that have read at home and who have a comment in their reading diary (so don't forget to comment on how they have done). If your child is not ready to change and needs to spend a bit longer on their book, please write this in their reading diary.
