Hello from Miss Kennedy and Miss Rai 
Sound of the Week
This week our spelling sound is ‘oi‘. The sound ‘oi’ is made up of 2 vowels and can sometimes be found at the beginning of a word but most of the time it is found in the middle of words. Group 2 will also be learning to spell words ending in ‘ab‘. Our tricky words this week are ‘on‘ and ‘are‘.
Spelling Task
This week group 1 will learn to spell ‘oi’ words and group 2 will continue to learn to spell CVC (consonant, vowel, consonant) words. This week we are looking at words ending in ‘_ab’. Group 1 and group 2 will both be learning the tricky words ‘on’ and ‘are’ Here are you words below. Copy them into your jotter or notebook on the left hand side of your page and watch the video of Miss Rai as she goes over the ‘Look, Say, Cover, Write and Check’ method.

Homework Maths Answers
There are 12 bottles on the shelf but eh shelf can hold 20, how many more bottles do I need? Well you could draw a picture of 12 bottles to help you and keep drawing more until you get to 20. Or you could put 12 in your head and use your fingers to count on to 20 (12 + __=20). Also, you could work backwards and do 20-12. The answer is 8.
I have 20 ice cubes and I used 6 so how many are left. Again you could draw a picture and cross out the 6 ice cubes or you could do 20-6 and put 20 in your head and count back 6. The answer is 14.
