Happy Monday everyone!
I hope you all had a faBOOlous Halloween weekend. I am sure you got lots of tasty treats.
Can you guess what we will be learning about this week in class?
Bonfire Night!
Your child has been set homework tasks for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday night. To keep us all safe, we have decided that all completed work should be kept at home (until further notice). Please remember to send back the clear zippy wallet empty on Tuesday.
This week in Literacy is a consolidation week which means that the children will not learn any new sounds or common words. During this week your child will spend time revising their letter formation, sounds and common words taught over the last three weeks.
Could you please encourage your child to practise their reading book each night. 📖

Wednesday
Literacy
CVC words
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:
- SAY– Ask your child, ‘Can you say the word ________?’
- 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
- 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.
- READ– Ask your child to read the word.
- 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
