Homework tasks this week:

Reading– core reader (reading book);

Spelling– spelling pattern ee– and common words (I, the, my, was)

 

Please encourage your child to:

Say the word   e.g. been

Break it into the sounds e.g. b-ee-n(3 sounds)

Blend it- b..ee..n.(stretching out each sound)

Write it (whilst covering the word)

Check it (against the written format)

If possible tackle one column of spelling on 2 different nights. An active spelling grid is in the front cover of the literacy homework jotter. You should pick one to try on a third night.

There will be a spelling dictation on Thursday this week.

After a couple of tricky weeks for phonics/spelling-the spelling words this week should be more straight forward. Don’t worry if your child has found the last couple of sounds tricky.  I expect to see children using the knowledge of sh-ch- th- wh- ph in their reading first.  It may take longer to transfer into their writing.

Maths-there is no maths task this week.

Talking/Practical Task-After the October break we will be talking about the homes we live in. Speak with your child about their house or houses.  Do they live in a flat, a bungalow or a house (you could talk about terrace, town house, semi-detached, detached)? Do they have neighbours- are they upstairs/downstairs, through the wall, next door?  What colour is your house and what materials is it made from?  Do you have a number on the door?

The children will be making a line drawing of their house/houses after the October holiday. Please bring in a photo or help them make a quick sketch of their home to work from.

 

Thanks for your support with homework.
