Phonics

This week the children will need to complete page 9 in their phonics workbook please. Please see below Phase 2 and Phase 3 sound mats to practise sounds they have learnt previously as well. 

Spelling/handwriting

Your child will be coming home with a spelling and handwriting sheet. Please practise reading the harder to read and spell words with your child. Then ask them to trace before writing them on their own on the correct lines provided.

Maths

This week the children have been learning to subtract. You can use objects around the house (for example, ask your child to get 6 teddies, count how many there are, if you take away 2 teddies, how many are left?).

Reading

The children will read three times a week in school and have been given a reading book or an e-book to practise reading at home. Please ensure that these books are returned to their bags after reading at home, along with their reading record, so that they can be re-read in school and used with other children. Please encourage your children to read other books and record in reading records.
