Ways that you can support your child’s learning at home will be updated in this section. If you have any questions, please email me at lyndsey.murray@eastayrshire.org.uk or speak to me at home-time.

 

Week beginning 5th October

 

Literacy 

This week we are learning the phonemes ‘p’ & ‘n’ & revising phonemes covered so far (s, a, t, i).

Ideas of how to practise at home can be found in the document below:

Phonics at home

We have also begun blending the phonemes we know to read words. The words we have covered so far are: a, at, it, in.

We have also covered some ‘tricky’ words. The letters in these words don’t always sound the way they should which makes them tricky! These should be learned. The tricky words we have covered so far are: the & I.

Numeracy 

We have been working hard on number formation. Practising writing numbers at home would be really helpful!

We have also begun working on addition. The children have been working on joining two groups to find out how many there are altogether.  This week we’ve been working with the formal calculation e.g. 3 + 2 = 5. We are using concrete materials so help us solve the calculation. If you want to practise this at home, give your child a calculation & provide materials for them to use to solve it e.g. pine cones, sticks, toys, etc.

If you have any questions about the homework, please feel free to email me! lyndsey.murray@eastayrshire.org.uk

Thanks,

Lyndsey
