Good morning Year 1,
Thank you for all the lovely work that you sent to me yesterday. Keep up the good work. I am so impressed by the fantastic effort shown by so many of you. I am really proud of you!
Here are today’s tasks.

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.
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.

This half term we are going to be looking at alternative pronunciations and alternative spellings. Today we are going to look at the 'i' 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?
mind kind
find grind
wild behind
pint remind
child
Use these games to practice your 'i' sound, is it the letter name or the letter sound that it makes?
