Hi everyone,
Things to Note (It’s a short list this week!):
- We have our nasal spray flu immunisations on Wednesday.
- It is starting to get bitterly cold outside so please make sure your little one has a coat as the children go out to play in most weathers with the exception of heavy rain.
Reading:
If you see task on your child’s group I have sent a sheet home with them. This gives a variety of different possible task ideas. You and your child can pick a minimum of one to do but please do not feel limited to one either. These can be verbal tasks or tasks recorded in their blue homework jotter. In addition they also provide some good ideas and questions to assist with guided reading to work on your child’s comprehension whilst daily reading largely works on fluency and decoding.

SPELLING
The children have been split into groups for spelling. Their spelling words are stapled into the blue homework jotter. These words need to be learnt and the children should look out for other words of the same spelling pattern when they are reading.
Please use the grid to help learn the spellings or use LOOK, COVER, WRITE, CHECK.
Red Group: ‘cr,dr,fr’ sound at the start of words.
Words such as: frill , drill, crack
Yellow Group: o_e
Words such as: stone, joke, throne
For this spelling pattern it is essential that children know their vowel sounds a, e i , o, u and letter names , which written phonetically sound like AY, EA, IE, OA ,UE.
We talk about the silent e jumping over the consonant to change the vowel sound. The song below can provide a helpful reminder.
Green Group: Word lists in the homework jotter.
Have a lovely week everyone!
