Mrs Lenotti’s group:

Before we start, let’s practise all of our sounds - https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/flashcards-speed-trials  (Phase 3/4)

When you come back to school, we are going to do a small assessment to see if we are ready to move to phase 5! So, this week I thought we’d have a little practise of everything you already know including tricky words and alien words. Can you remember the tricky words you have been learning during this phase of phonics? Remind yourself here Tricky Word Trucks (phonicsplay.co.uk) Now try the tricky word story spotter.

Mrs Hutcheon’s group:

Before we start, let’s practise all of our sounds - https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/2/flashcards-speed-trials  (Phase 5) Write down the score you get and see if you can beat it tomorrow! If you cannot access phonicsplay, test yourself on the sound mat!

We have been looking at the alternative pronunciation of g. If you need to recap yesterday’s learning, then re-watch the video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BefTO6f3Qt0

Today’ you are going to look at a range of picture, which contain the ‘g’ alternative pronunciations. Close your eyes and randomly choose 3 pictures and write a silly sentence! For example, I chose gate, allergic and hedgehog. My silly sentence is – One day, there was a giant, green gate which was allergic to a tiny, spikey hedgehog.

Write at least 3 silly sentences. Challenge yourself to write more. Try and choose more than 3 words.

In Phonics, today, we are going to be learning about the ‘ch’ digraph. Make a list of all the ‘th’ words you know! Can you add to yesterday’s list? Practice reading some ‘th’ flashcards with Geraldine the Giraffe - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZ72-8QYFR4

I would like you to have a go at writing ‘th’. Have a go at writing it in a range of different ways. You could use shaving foam, pasta, chalk, paint, whiteboard, Lego etc. How many different ways can you write ‘th’?

Look at the worksheet. Have a go at reading the story. Can you find all of the ‘th’ words?
