Don\u2019t worry if your child has found the last couple of sounds tricky.\u00a0 I expect to see children using the knowledge of sh-ch- th- wh- ph in their reading first.\u00a0 It may take longer to transfer into their writing.<\/p>\n Maths-<\/strong>there is no maths task this week.<\/p>\n Talking\/Practical Task<\/strong>-After the October break we will be talking about the homes we live in.
