This week we will be consolidating the phonemes b and u and the spelling words be, but and you.

This is also the end of ‘block 3’ and so I will complete an assessment on these phonemes:

b,u, f, o, g, l

and these spelling words:

be, but, you, for, if, on, go, get, got

As always keep practising all spelling words and phonemes as they are all being used, especially as we begin to write more sentences.

I have added a new tab to the top of the page ‘phonemes’.  This gives you some words which can be used with each phoneme as well as an overview of the blocks of phonemes and spelling words covered so far.

If you have any questions or would like additional information on anything we are covering in class please don’t hesitate to get in touch with me.

Kind regards

This week we will be learning the phonemes b and u. The spelling words are be, but and you.

Please help your child practise these, giving them opportunities to read and write them.  Also have a go at dictating short sentences to your child, using the phonemes and spelling words they have learnt so far, such as;

We got a flag for you.

I am glad you did it for me.

He can not go if he is sick.

Also this week is ‘Scots Week’ and we will be reading some book in ‘scots’ and also reciting some rhymes in ‘scots’.

Should you have any questions or queries please don’t hesitate to contact me or see me at the end of the day.

Many thanks

This week for homework please continue to practise the phonemes f and o.   The spelling words also remain the same as last week; for, on, if.

Please continue to practise all previous phonemes and also read and write previous spelling words.

We will be reading two more reading books this week.   We have now moved onto the ‘yellow’ band of books.  Please take a moment to read the skills involved with these books on the reading tab.

There is also a laminated strip in your child’s school bag with information on how to access ‘study ladder’ .  Study ladder is a website which enables class teachers to set specific tasks/games which will support activities within the classroom.  The majority of the tasks will be linked to Numeracy and Literacy.

Finally,  there is also a letter in school bags regarding ‘parent pay’ and how to set up an account.

Any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.  Fingers crossed the weather improves!

Kind regards

Welcome back to a new term and new year!  I hope you all enjoyed some time with your families.

Homework this week continues with the new phonemes f and o.  The spelling words are:

if

for

on

Two reading books will also be issued this week.

Please practise the new words and phonemes as well as reviewing previous words and phonemes too.  Also have a go at dictating short sentences for your child to write, which use a combination of the spelling words and words which can be created using the letters we have learnt.  Examples are;

We ran into my den.

He can kick a can.

I am at my desk.

Many thanks for your support and if you have any questions or queries don’t hesitate to contact me.
