Phonics

I have named the two phonics groups to help the children to access the correct homework (ask your child which group they are in).

Moons

Some of the boys and girls have been learning the ‘oy’ sound.  Follow the link below to revise this sound.

Magic ‘e’

This week is our last week focusing on magic e in phonics.  Follow the link below to the game and play games 20-24.

You may notice that there is no game for magic e with e, this is because there are very few words for this one.  Here are some which you may wish to highlight to your child.  Try finding some of the words in your reading book or stories at home.

• Pete
• here
• these
• eve
• complete
• Steve

Blue Group

We are learning to add coins together to the value of 20p.

1. Follow the link above
2. Click on the pink icon ‘Mixed Coins’
3. Find the heading ‘Exact Coins’ and then click on the icon below ‘Up to 20p’

Counting Strategies

• Encourage your child to start with the biggest number when adding the coins together.
• Remind them to count on (putting the biggest number in their head and counting on).

Practical Activity

Your child may wish to set up a pretend toy shop.  Give them guidance to complete this activity (see below).

1. Choose three or four toys to sell in your shop.
2. Price the toys (yellow group up to the value of 10p and blue group up to the value of 20p).
3. Using money find the coins you would need to buy the items.
