Videos To Help With Spelling And Phonemes

Morning everyone!

I have been looking for a website that may be useful at home to help support with spelling and phonics.

Throughout the school, we approach spelling by investigating phonemes (or sounds) and this approach is used from P1-7 as well as looking at spelling rules and patterns.

BBC Bitesize have a list of short video clips that would allow pupils to hear the sound and have short exercises after listening. The videos would be most appropriate for P2-4. To access them, copy and paste the link below or google search “BBC Bitesize ks1 phonics”. I hope this is useful!

P4 Week Beginning 16.11.20

Good morning!
I hope you had a lovely weekend. Can you believe we’re halfway through November already!? The weeks are just flying in.

 

Home Learning Tasks

 

  1. Class Talks– our class talks are this week and will be on Thursday 19th and Friday 20th November. Pupils were asked to choose an animal, research their animal, write a class talk and practice that talk at home. This has been a focus for home learning for the month of November. Make sure you are prepared this week and are ready to deliver your talks on Thursday and Friday.
  2. Maths– we have been working on our rounding skills in maths and have had practice rounding to the nearest 10. We have now begun to look at rounding to the nearest 100 as well. Click on the link below or google search for the game called “Rocket Rounding” on the website Topmarks. You can choose whether to practice rounding to the nearest 10 or nearest 100. Good luck!

  3. Literacy– last week we had a look at the reading strategy called Word Attack. This strategy involves using phonemes or sounds to help sound tricky or unfamiliar words out. Practice using this strategy at home by playing the game “Blending Bingo” on Topmarks. You can choose your own level and work on particular phonemes if you wish. I know the witches spelling group is focusing on the phoneme “igh”, the wands are looking at “ee/oo” and the cats are looking at “h”.

Have a great week everyone!

P1R

 

This week we have been very busy learning about ‘The Smartest Giant’ and we were very good at sequencing the story and exploring the characters in the story and how they felt. We have also being doing lots of work on pattern and sorting linked to the story. We have had great fun making some clothes for the giant to display in our class.

We continue to work on the common words a, at, the, I, is and the. Keep looking for them in your books at home.

We have began looking at dot patterns for numbers up to 6 and there is a game on Education City you can try at home that we have been doing in class which you can try at home called ‘Spot the dots’ . Please play a game at home that involves a dice.

P6P Week Beginning 9th November 2020

Hello P6P,

We have all been working hard this week in P6. Well done to this weeks award winners and prize winners – keep up the good work!

This week in maths we have been exploring 3D shapes. We can confidently name all of the shapes and we have now been learning about the properties of 3D shapes. We were also creating accurate drawings of 3D shapes to be displayed in the classroom. Next week we will be looking at 3D shapes in the environment and will be taking our learning outdoors.

In art we have been continuing with our observational drawing, focusing on line, tone, texture and pattern. We began to create fantastic drawings of our favourite meals and will have the opportunity to finish them off next week.

We ended the week with a fun filled day of Children in Need activities, dressed in our pyjamas to raise money for a great cause.

HOME CHALLENGE 16/11/20

Next week we will be starting our new topic, The Victorians. For your home challenge this week I would like you to think about the following questions and share your ideas with me next week:

  • What do you know already about the Victorians?
  • What would you like to know about the Victorian era?

Have a lovely weekend,

Miss McLeish 🙂

P4 Children In Need Day

P4 had a lovely day today doing activities for Children In Need.

We wore our pyjamas to school and were lovely and cosy all day.

In the class we designed our own Pudsey and Blush and also had a go at some secret code breaking. We also did a Joe Wicks workout called “The Big Morning Move” which was part of last years Children In Need activities.

Thank you for all your donations!

Here are our nice pictures…

 

And here are our silly ones! Hope they made you smile, have a good weekend!

P1L – Friday 13th November 2002

We have been working so hard all week! We have been learning about the phonic ‘d’. We made ducks and dinosaurs and they look lovely on the wall in our classroom. We have been really busy making patterns using collage materials, outdoor materials and stampers. We are continuing to explore our common words and had fun playing ‘splat’ and ‘frying pan flip’. Please continue to learn your common words at  home. We are focusing on it, in, is, the, and,is. We will be looking at dot patterns next week.  Can you play a dice game and see how quickly you can recognise how many spots are on each side of the dice? I hope you have fun. We enjoyed Children In Need Day and made lots of Pudsey’s and a huge spotty paperchain. We enjoyed wearing our pyjamas and onesies too. Have a lovely weekend!

16112020 ea and dividing

This week in P5, we will be learning about the final representation of the phoneme ee: ea.   You will find all of this week’s words in the document above.  There will also be some division activities on Education City for you to complete starting from today (16.11.2020), which you may find tricky at first, but, with more practise, you will soon be experts.

Happy Learning P5,

From, Miss Steedman
