Sounds

-Pandas and tigers: revision week for all sounds.    Please focus on th, sh and ch.  Many of us get muddled between the ‘th’ sound and the ‘f’ sound.  Please reinforce this at home by reminding your child that we stick our tongue out slightly when making the th sound.

Pandas and tigers: you could try watching this ‘th’ video to help you develop your skills in using this sound.

Elephants: click hear to watch a video about the ‘ay’ sound.  Try talking about the difference between ai words and ay words.  Remember that words with the ay sound usually have their ay sound at the end of the word.  Words with the ai spelling rule usually have their ai sound at the beginning or the middle of a word.

Topic

Food diary – please help your child keep a record of the number of pieces of fruit and vegetables they eat each day for a week.   You should try starting it today.  They should colour in one square on the graph that was sent home for each piece they eat.  We are all aiming to eat more than 5 pieces a day.  Please bring graphs/diaries back to school next Monday.

Food rubbish collecting – please bring in any clean packaging from food that have carbohydrates in them.  We will be starting to learn about this on Tuesday.  You could bring in pasta packets, cereal boxes, noodles, bread etc.  Use the food plate below to help you get ideas (yellow section).  We are trying to make our own healthy plate in school to help us learn more about being healthy.
