Morning Primary 1

I hope you’ve all had a good weekend.  I am still missing you.  This is our 9th week away from school now!  I can’t believe it.  I really enjoyed getting an email from NG to hear how she and her family were and to  all about what she has been getting up to.

Well done to CT for 20 minutes reading on Epic reading too!

Remember, you can get in touch with me about anything at all via my email:

Today marks the start of Mental Health Awareness Week. John Burgerman has written a fantastic picture book for children who are worried about Coronavirus. Click here to have a look at it – Everybody Worries 

Here are today’s activities for you to try – keep going and just try your best 😃 . 

Phonics Monday

Today we are going to do some work on our sounds and digraphs.

Warm up:

• How many of our digraphs can you remember?

• Can you read these words?

three	whip	wool
shed	song	match

• Play along with this game – how many words can you splat?

 

Main Activity:

• Copy and complete the sheet below by adding  the missing digraphs to the start of each word

• If you would like to, you can draw a picture to go along with your words

Extra Challenge:

• Try making up a funny story with as many of the words from the sheet as you can. You don’t need to write the story down – you can just say it out loud. I managed 8 in my story below – can you beat me?

The whale invited the shark, the sheep and the chick over to his house. They were his three best friends. The sheep blew the whistle and the shark got a fright and fell off his chair and broke the whales favourite shell!
