There are four parts to the homework for this week. You can decide which activity you wish to do each night, but we have a suggested plan below. For the homework to be as beneficial as possible, it would be our preference that you spread out the homework over the course of the week.
Activity 1:
My Sounds Booklet pg. 6 - New sound for this week oa.
Activity 2:
Dictation sentences
"A big red fox got the bad rat."
"Ben hid the map in the hut."
*Please write both sentences on the same page.
*Remind your child about finger spaces between words and full stops at the end of the sentence.
*Encourage your child to check over their own work, however we don't expect perfect spellings as the children are still learning.
Activity 3:
Graded reader - Please try to do a little bit of reading each night.
Activity 4:
This year the children will have 2 tricky words each week for homework. The tricky words from last year are on a sheet in the homework folder if you feel your child needs to revise them.
The tricky words to memorise for this week are: which, any
*Please remember you cannot blend tricky words.
Suggested games to make Tricky Word learning fun:
Slap the Word
Use one set of word cards. Spread a number of cards out on a table or the floor. Ask someone to say one of the words. Whoever is first to slap the word with their hand (or the back of a spoon) wins the word. We have played this game in class with spoons and the children loved it.
Silly Sentence
Spread the word cards out face down. Pick 3 cards and turn them face up. Say the words as they are turned up. Now try and make up a silly sentence that includes all 3 words on the cards.
Shout Out Loud
Spread the word cards out face down. Take it in turns to turn over one card at a time. The first person to shout out the word wins the card. Keep going until all the cards have been won. You can play this with silly voices e.g. whisper, roar like a lion, squeak like a mouse
