It’s Thursday – try out these learning tasks.
Picture of the day: I found this picture (pobble365) and thought it would be great fun to write about. Decide which animal/s you are going to write about. You could describe 1 or 2 of them or even write a few sentences today for a challenge. Where are they and what are they doing?
Phonics: Here are some more words with letter blends at the end (CVCC). Watch out though as there are some digraphs in these words. When you write them in your phoneme frame, the digraph goes in one box. Here is an example:
r |
oa |
s |
t |
Try these words…
roast toast lunch munch burst
Another useful word to learn how to sound out is went. Try writing that one too and say it in a sentence.
Reading challenge: Choose one of your favourite story books at home. Snuggle up somewhere cosy or take it outside to read. Read it with and adult and look out for some of our tricky words (you can find them on the back of your sound board). Look out for the orange and purple words. When you have read the book, talk about your favourite character in the story and why you chose them.
