Homework from 11/1/16 until 22/1/16

Language

Phonemes

We are continuing to make up the phoneme families – the sounds are the same, but the spellings are different as in ee, ea and e-e sounding like E.

Next week we will be learning the phoneme igh which sounds like I.

Homework ideas:

• Create short rhymes using words from the E sound family: Experiment with words and sounds.

A girl called Eve can see the sea.

• Write phoneme words in different colours and different shapes.
• Look for the phoneme in your reading books and any other texts – comics, recipes, instructions etc. and print in the environment; signs in shops, street signs, etc.
• Try these games to reinforce spelling/phoneme patterns

Interdisciplinary Learning

We are going to be learning about traditional Scottish food and drink.

Ask an adult to help you make a list of Scottish food and drink e.g. at New Year adults might drink whisky and people eat shortbread.

Have a look at these interesting websites to give you some ideas –

http://www.taste-of-scotland.com/scottish_food_products.html

If you eat any Scottish foods, bring in the packaging to add to our class display.

Remember your New Year’s Resolutions and keep up the good work!
