Welcome back to school after the Easter break.

I hope you all had a lovely time and made the best of the dry sunny weather. It was really nice to finish the holiday with restrictions being lifted slightly so we could visit or catch up with friends outside.

Literacy

Children have been allocated a book on Bug Club. Please try to read your book more than once as this will help increase fluency and understanding. Once initially completed the book will go into your child’s library to read again.

We will be looking at the split phoneme i-e this week.

Children can practise making their words with this sound using their magnetic letters and boards.

Common words          Sound words

five                                       side

time                                     white

life                                         smile

line                                        hide

shine

Children should read, write and spell these common words. Can you please encourage your child to write two sentences containing two of the common words.

Numeracy

We will be looking at time over the next few weeks, so it might be good to have a go at telling the time focusing on o’clock and half past.
