Homework from 25/1/16 until 5/2/16

Language

Phonemes

We are continuing to make up the phoneme families – the sounds are the same, but the spellings are different. We are continuing to learn the phonemes which sound like I. We have been taught igh and will now be learning i-e as in kite (magic E) and y as in sky.

Look back at the phonemes on your homework blogs and test yourself on the sounds – take the phoneme challenge at home as well as in school.

Homework ideas:

• Create short rhymes using words from the I sound family: Experiment with words and sounds. The kite flew high in the sky.
• 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. Make a poster and bring in for our display wall.
• Try these games to reinforce spelling/phoneme patterns

Reading

• A new reading book will usually be given each Friday. The days for reading are Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, so please make sure that pupils have their reading books in their bags so that they can complete reading activities.
•  Look at the punctuation marks in your story. Are there any question marks?
• Make up some questions about your story to ask someone at home. Ask them to read your book, then ask “Who is in the story?”, “Where is the story happening?” and so on using who, where, what, when, how and why questions

.Number

In class we are continuing to build up our number stories to 20.

• Practise building the number stories by taking turns with a partner.

Continue to practise adding and taking away within 20, so that calculations are correct. Remember to JUMP from the number you start at!! Draw a number line to help you.
