independently. 

Show your child the following picture. Ask them what they can see? Prompt them to the full sentence, Let's look at the book.  Say it a few times to help them to remember it. Then ask them to write, using their knowledge of the sounds, finger spaces and a full stop at the end.  Please encourage your child to be as independent as they can, then discuss it at the end. 

Tricky word practice

Can you practice our tricky words with the roll it read it game? You will need a dice. When you roll a number, choose a tricky word on that set and read it . Cross it out. Can you complete a line? Can you roll a 1-6?

You might use the tricky words: 

I, no , go , to , into, the

he, she, me, we, be, me, all , you, are, was, they, my, her

This week we are going to look at a new tricky word : have

Can you say the word in a sentence ? My sentence is " I  have a dog called Dexter"

Can you take a picture of the word with your magic camera? Then can you write it?

Look at the word - it has 4 letters, 2 tall and 2 short. Say the letters that you need for the word. 

Can you sort the words for the sentence? 

She  short   hair   has. 

Now can you write your own sentence about something you have ?

Wednesday 1st July 2020

To introduce the sound, please watch the pollys phonics video on Espresso

The play the blending games to supplement and practice your new sound

fur 

burn

urn

burp

curl

curds

Reading activity for 'ur'

 Magic words! 

Make a chalk track or target on the street, in your garden or on the wall. If you don't have any chalk, use little cards with ur words written on. Your child has to blend the word and then they can rub the word out with water- either with a water gun or a squirty bottle - an old pop bottle or a squirty gun. The children will not even realise that they are doing phonics as they squirt the word out like magic! 

Another good messy idea for this is to write a word in shaving cream, the child blends it and rubs it out, then write another !

Writing activities for ar 

Can you write a label for the pictures below?

Remember, we have a new tricky word that we are learning this week
