This term we will be continuing with our initial sounds and working on blending CVC words (consonant-vowel-consonant).

The children have been using their magnetic boards and letters in class to blend the sounds we have learned so far to make words.

They have been using the Five Finger Strategy:

1. SAY– Ask your child, ‘Can you say the word ________?’
2. MAKE/BREAK– Continue, ‘Can you make the word _______ with your letters?’
   -‘Do you know what letter comes first?’
   – Your child will choose the appropriate letters and make the word
3. BLEND– Ask your child to SOUND OUT the letters by running their finger below
   the letters and your child should then BLEND the sounds together to make the word.
4.  READ– Ask your child to read the word.
5. WRITE– Ask your child to WRITE the word.

Using the CVC worksheet provided, ask your child to cut out all of the letters on the worksheet and use these letters to make each CVC word.

Words– sat, tap, pin, tin, pan, den, red, can, mat, pen

Sumdog

Well done to everyone who managed to log on last week to play Sumdog. It would be great if everyone could log on and complete this week’s challenge. All logins were given out last week.

Sumdog is a fantastic website which allows children to practise their maths skills through different games, which then becomes tailored to their ability following the answers they provide. Sometimes your child might need help reading the questions but it is important that you let your child answer the question independently. If you help them answer the question, questions can become too challenging for them and it will not be set at their own ability.

If you have any questions please contact me – gw13mceleneylauren@glow.sch.uk

I would like to say a special thank you for your support over these last few months in helping to make your child’s first term at school a great success.

I hope you and your family have a safe and relaxing October break.

Miss McEleney
