Sounds

Please continue to practise Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds. Continue to work on learning these sounds by sight and writing them correctly.  You could challenge your child to write these sounds in words and then in sentences should you feel they need extending.

High Frequency Words

Please continue to practise the high frequency words that the children have already begun to learn. Your child should continue to learn these set by set. Once your child has learnt a set, challenge them to write the word on a piece of paper, focusing on correct spelling. Extend the activity by encouraging them to write the word in a simple sentence.  Please find these under the 'High Frequency Word' section on the Homework page.

Creative Writing Task

This week we would like children to listen to the stories 'Rumble in the Jungle' and 'Farmyard Hullabaloo' by  Giles Andreae (video links below) and to then write their own set of clues about their favourite animals.  This could be a farm animal, zoo animal or a pet.  The children can write as many clues as they wish for as many animals as they wish.  They need to try and make their clues descriptive so that the animal can be guessed.  They can then  draw a picture of their chosen animal(s).  An example is provided below.

*Challenge  - Include more than one adjective to describe the chosen animal

**Super challenge - Use a connective to extend your sentences

Children are asked to email a picture of their written work or a word document of their writing to the teachers via the Hwb emails on the 'Homework' page, where teachers will then provide appropriate feedback.  They can also send any other pictures of learning they have been doing.
