We haven\u2019t been learning any new sounds this week in our phonics. We are spending 2 weeks consolidating our knowledge of the sounds we have been taught and taking part in different activities to develop our blending, spelling and reading ability using these sounds as well as our listening skills to hear the sounds in a word.<\/p>\n
Here are some of the different activities we have been doing:<\/p>\n
One of the activities we have particularly enjoyed has been the race car blending game. We have a word on a piece of paper e.g. cat. We drive a car over the word, saying each sound as we go. We make the car drive faster and faster to help us read the word. You could try this at home too.<\/p>\n
Carter: \u201cwhen the cars cross the letters we read them\u201d<\/p>\n
Shea: \u201cwe have a phonics phone we say the sounds and they go into our hear so you can hear the sounds coming from your mouth.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pati has also being practising writing her \u201cname\u201d.<\/p>\n
Carter:\u00a0 \u201cthere is shaving foam on the tuff table.\u201d<\/p>\n
Luke: \u201cwe look at the cards and we write letters on the tuff table like n and a and p and k.\u201d<\/p>\n
Home Learning: What can you use at home to practise writing your sounds and sight words.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have loved number talks this week. We have been using bunny ears to show our understanding of how the numbers 2, 3, 4 and 5 are made.<\/p>\n Home Learning: Ask your child to show you bunny ears for 2, for 3, for 4 and for 5. Ask your child to show you the game we have been playing with bunny ears.<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n Anna: \u201cwe have been counting bunny ears.\u201d<\/p>\n Freya: \u201ctry and copy what Mrs Davenport is doing and get the right number.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In our numeracy lessons this week we have been talking about 1 more, 2 more and numbers that come before or after other numbers. Here are some of the activities we have been doing:<\/p>\n Olivier: \u201ccounting\u201d with numicon<\/p>\n Paul: \u201cplaying hopscotch. I needed to set it up myself and I had to put down the number 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 and all the way to 11.\u201d<\/p>\n Layla: \u201cin the tuff tray I was using a paintbrush to write numbers.\u201d<\/p>\n Carter: \u201cI was fixing the number line and putting the numbers in the right order.\u201d<\/p>\n Home Learning: Ask your child what is 1 more or 2 more than a certain number. E.g. what is 1 more than 6? What is 2 more than 3? What number is before 7? What number is after 9?<\/u><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n We have developing our reasoning skills. This week, Mrs Davenport and Mrs Docherty have been asking us lots of \u2018why\u2019 questions in lots of different lessons.<\/p>\n A dinosaur egg had appeared in our classroom:<\/p>\n Anna: \u201ca dinosaur egg came into our classroom.\u201d<\/p>\n Roma: \u201cit has hatched now.\u201d<\/p>\n We had to think about why it was here.<\/p>\n Rojin: \u201cthe mummy dinosaur and daddy dinosaur aren\u2019t looking after the egg.\u201d<\/p>\n For our writing lesson we had to think about why the dinosaur parents weren\u2019t looking after the egg anymore.<\/p>\n Roma: \u201cI think they were on holiday.\u201d<\/p>\n Luke: \u201cI think they are at the beach.\u201d<\/p>\n Carter: \u201cI think they are shopping getting food for the little dinosaur.\u201d<\/p>\n We found out that dinosaurs eat different food. We wanted to make sure that the baby dinosaur had lots of food for when it hatched out the egg.<\/p>\n Rojin: \u201cwe collected food for the baby dinosaur.\u201d<\/p>\n Olivier: \u201cwe got leaves.\u201d<\/p>\n Scott: \u201cand grass.\u201d<\/p>\n Carter: \u201csome dinosaurs don\u2019t eat meat.\u201d<\/p>\n Roma: \u201cit would make it sick.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n We had a wonderful trip to the library on Tuesday.<\/p>\n Michelle: \u201cwe took books\u201d<\/p>\n Shea: \u201cI picked a book about a spider.\u201d<\/p>\n Logan: \u201cI picked a book about a rocket.\u201d<\/p>\n Jane: \u201cwe took our books to the park and we played.\u201d<\/p>\n Carter: \u201cwe read our books in the park too.\u201d<\/p>\n We have also been using our reading books in class lots too. Here are the titles of our books this week:<\/p>\n Carter: \u201cA New Dog.\u201d<\/p>\n Amelia: Six in a Bed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We haven\u2019t been learning any new sounds this week in our phonics.
