Week Beginning 26.9.2016

Sound work: ‘m’ and ‘d’ please cntinue to work on sound recognition particularly at the beginning and ends of words.

Continue to help recognising the letters using the cards and making up small 3 letter words.

The children have been interested in words that rhyme, we have read rhyming stories at story time. Please help them complete the rhyme sheet.

Maths: We are practising the days of the week. Please help your child to know the order and what comes next and before. If they are confident with this they can have a go at ordering them visually and writing them.

Topic

We are moving on to explore the world of dinosaurs, a topic which I think the children will be really enthusiastic about.

Homework

Language and Literacy

Sound sheets ‘e, h and r’ to revise the sound and writing the letter. These sheets will be in their reading folder. If children wish to they can draw things that begin with the sound they can do so on the back of the sheet.

Reading: Tues – Thurs nights. Revise key words that are in the reading folders. Although your child may be memorising the words in their reading book please encourage them to follow the words with their finger.

Sounds that have been taught so far are also in their word bags along with an information sheet on how to use these to help the children learn their sounds to build simple words.

Numeracy

Please can the children make a simple poster about numbers around them. This can be done by drawing  and writing numbers, by cutting out and gluing from magazines etc or by using photographs of numbers in the environment e.g. from buses, door numbers etc. FOR MONDAY 26TH SEPTEMBER
