Hello and welcome to our new P2 online homework page. Due to Covid 19, no formal homework is being issued that would require it to be returned to school on a weekly basis.  Therefore, each week, homework tasks, videos and games will be published on this blog for your child in order to continue to reinforce their learning at home.  Update: Homework does not need to be submitted electronically, as long as your child is doing the tasks and practising reading and writing their numbers and letters.

Sound of the Week

This week we are revising ‘ie’. Watch the videos below and choose at least 1 task to do at home.

Tasks:

1.  Go on a sound hunt. Look around your home and write and draw any objects you find or think of that has the ‘ie’ sound.
2. Rainbow spelling. Think of some ‘ie’ words or use the list below to do some rainbow spelling. Firstly, pick a colour to write down an ‘ie’ word. Then choose another colour to go over the word. Choose another colour to write over the word again. You can keep doing this until you have used lots of colours!  You can do this for tricky words too: the, and, he, she, I, my, we, be.

In class we are learning to use reading strategies to decode unknown words. This week we are focusing on ‘Sharp Eyes’ and ‘Mouse the Mouth’. This is where we  look at the first letter of the word and use the pictures to look for clues.  When reading stories at home, encourage your child to use these strategies to develop their reading skills.
