The children have been working hard in our daily phonic sessions and Mrs Fincham and I have been so impressed with how the children have responded to these new sessions.
As I mentioned at pick up on Friday, I have created some clips linked to our Phonics. These show how we say our sounds, our silly sentence for each sound and how we write each letter.
These clips can be found via our class page on the website or alternatively by clicking this link: Phonics page.
This page will be added to each week as we learn new sounds.
This week we will be focusing on the traditional tale "The Three Little Pigs". We will be:
- Reading different versions of this week's story.
- Ordering numbers and numbers of objects, introducing the words more and less.
- Learning the next 4 sounds in our Phonics sessions.
- Building houses using different construction materials and then testing them against a big bad wolf!
- Watching the CBeebies film "Poppies" on Remembrance Day and observing the silence at 11am.
Home learning ideas:
To tie in with our work in class, you may like to try some of these ideas at home, it would be lovely to see what you chose to do, please feel free to email any photos etc to earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.
- Have a look at your house, can you draw picture of it? Do you know what materials it is made from?
- Can you find out what number you live at? I wonder who has the highest house number in Pearl Class? It would be great to find out!
- Share the story at home, a version of it can be found here.
Thank you to all of you who have sent in a WOW for your child, it would be lovely if every child could get themselves on the WOW wall by the end of the month. WOWs so far have ranged from riding bikes, tidying rooms, practising writing and trying new foods. Anything can be a WOW, it just has to be something that makes you proud of your child. Please email any WOWs to me using earlyyears@downhallprimary.com.
Many thanks for your support,
Miss Wakefield
