We  will be using several songs from YouTube to help children with their learning and will provide these in some of our weekly lessons. We check these, before links are provided for use. Please be aware that when your child is using the YouTube links they need adult supervision as this site has age restrictions and, as a result, should not be used independently by your child,

Many thanks,

Week commencing 21/9/20

This week we are learning a new sound each day and on Friday we will revise all the sounds we have learnt. We are also learning three tricky words.

This week we are focusing on learning the sounds I, n, m, d.

We are also introducing Tricky Words

What is a Tricky Word?

Tricky words are those words which cannot be sounded out. If you sound them out and try to blend the sounds, the word will not sound right. They are words that must be recognised by sight and memorised.

This week we are learning the tricky words:

                             I    no   go

1. Ask your grown up to write these words on flash cards to help you practise them.

2. Watch the Tricky words Phase 2 fun video with a catchy tune on YouTube to help you.

Extension: With your grown up, look through a catalogue: what can you find that begins with these sounds? Make a scrap book and stick in pictures on each page with toys/items beginning with these sounds.
