Reading – please practice reading your book each night and talk about what is happening. Ask your child to find certain words on the page and discuss their meaning. Can they spot any words with the sounds we have been learning so far (sh, ch, th, ee)?

Sounds – This week’s sound is ‘oo’. Practice sounding and blending the words from your booklet every night until you are fluent. Can you find words with the ‘oo’ sound in a story book or your reading book?

Blending – this week’s blend is ‘e’ (be, ce, fe etc). Practise reading the blends out loud in your blending strip to become fluent.

Common  Words – this week’s words are highlighted in blue. Practise them each night. If you have a separate wallet with words cut up use these to help. Do them every night.

Sumdog – This is a maths site to help your child with their number work. It can be used as often as they wish and is a great way to improve their mental maths skills. Log-in details and passwords have been given to each child. Keep this safe in your homework folder as you will not be able to access the site without the passwords. Try to memorise it too.

Remember tomorrow (2nd October) is photograph day.
