Every child has been given sound cards to use at home.  These cards can be cut up. Try to ask your child for the sound of the letter. When they are confident, you can then put three letters together to make words for them to sound out.  You can also use the whiteboard to write the words.  When reading stories, see if your child can recognise sounds or three letter words.

We are learning to use these sounds and words in class in lots of different activities.

We were looking at the letter e today.  We watched a little clip of Elmer the elephant.  We then wrote the letter e all over Elmer.  They were beautiful.

We were learning all about the letter “i” today.   We made beautiful igloos .  We also watched a clip of “Pingu” building his igloo and we looked at pictures of the George Square igloo. It sparked some great discussions.

The George Square Igloo

Everyone loves Pingu.
