The P3 team would like to share the spelling words and phoneme we will be teaching in class this week.

We will post phonics and spelling words here every Monday along with some YouTube links we may use in class to help teach these sounds.

Suggested ‘homework’ activities are things like Rainbow and Pyramid writing; draw a picture of the word or write a sentence with the word; look for this week’s phoneme in stories or when you are out at the shops etc.

Hopefully these activities are familiar to you and your child from P2.

We are posting spelling and phonics taught in class each week online rather than sending ‘spelling words’ home in a jotter each week in order to minimise the sharing of items, and therefore the potential spread of coronavirus, between home to school.

Reading books will be allocated through Bugclub online and if books are sent home we have measures in place to safely ‘quarantine’ them before and after use.

Our joined phoneme this week is –

ow

 (which makes the long vowel sound o (oh)- as in crow)

Words in this ‘phonic family’ are-

snow

low

grow

throw

follow

shallow

show

 

The common words are-

yellow

grow

again

food

If you want to practice these at home then here are some links to YouTube clips-
