Tuesday
Good morning Year 1,
Thank you for all the fantastic pictures and sentences that you sent to me to show me what you got up to over half term. It was lovely seeing what you have been doing. Hopefully, I will speak to you later today when I ring you up.
Here are today’s tasks.
Mrs E
Phonics
To start today's phonics please can you recap your phase 3 and phase 5 sounds that you find tricky. You can use your sound mats or you could use the flash cars on phonics play https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/
Can you now practice some of your tricky words- You need to be able to read and spell these! Practise the ones that you find difficult. Choose up to 5. https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/
This half term we are going to be looking at alternative pronunciations and alternative spellings. Today we are going to start with 'e' when it makes the letter name rather than the letter sound (Please introduce your child to the 5 vowels when teaching them as these will be the focus this week - these are a,e,i,o,u)
Can you read these words?
he
me
she
be
we
frequent
Use these games to practice your 'e' sound, is it the letter name or the letter sound that it makes? Choose the one you like the best.
