Phonics

---

• Primary 1

You will notice that your child has now got a special blue book showing phonics taught.  So far we have done ‘s’ and ‘a’.  This week we are focusing on ‘t’ and ‘i’.   It is useful for you and your child to revise these regularly, for short amounts of time.  Ask your child to make the sound and do the action.  Then think about words that begin with these sounds.  You may also spot them in books read at home.

• Primary 2

We are revising  sounds covered in Primary 1, with a particular focus on ‘ch’, ‘sh’ and ‘th’.  Primary 2 should look and see if they can find these sounds in books and signs.

Topic

Primary 2 are also doing a mini topic in the afternoons and this is based around the theme of, ‘The Gruffalo’.  We have looked at rhyming, re-telling the story using puppets and creating our own ‘Terrible Creature’.

Naming Clothes etc….

Please make sure that all items of clothing, water bottles, folders and letters are clearly labelled.
