Spring Has Sprung In Rm 5
This week we have been busy getting ready for the Spring Service on Monday. I hope you can all make it (1pm in the hall). Here is a sneak peek at what we've been up to.
The children are really enjoying their word boxes and I am delighted that they are all able to stretch out the sounds to hear the word. As they become familiar and confident with this technique they can stop stretching out the word and quietly scan the letters to read the words fluently, but for most of the children it is still important to remind them to stretch out the sounds without a gap. For any children who are still unsure of some letter sounds (check their assessment sheet on the inside cover of their sounds copy) I have added a little reference chart. They should look at the letter symbol and then search for it on their chart (this reinforces their visual awareness of the letter symbol). When they find the letter symbol on the chart they will be prompted by a picture which represents the letter sound/action they have learnt. If you have any concerns or questions about your child's blending please just ask me.
As we continue to learn about the people who help us in our community we have been exploring the difference between the city and the countryside. We are all aware that we live in a busy city. In the exercise below we are sorting different aspects that represent city life and country life.
Great Homework this week. Well done everyone.
That's it for this week... enjoy the weekend and we hope to see you on Monday for the Spring Service.
