This week the children have continued to revise and use the sounds taught over the year.

Our focus sounds were:

i-e – a nice smile

igh – fly high

Thank you for feeding back on how your child is getting on with reading their ditties and group book words.  We have enjoyed reading some of the sentences children have written at home and shared on Tapestry.

This week we have concentrated on the sounds:

oi – spoil the boy

oy – toy for the boy

The children have continued to practise sounds from set 1 and 2.

You will have noticed as well as bringing home a school reading book the children have also brought home words that are linked to their group text.  These are for you to practise with your child and also give your child an opportunity to discuss the ditty or story they are doing in class.

This week we have continued to revise all of our Set 1 sound and the words they form.

Set-1-Sounds-PowerPoint

green words 1

ou – shout it out

ur – nurse with a purse

set_3_sounds_ppt_3

We have continued to revise all sounds taught.  The children are working hard at segmenting and blending and this is improving their confidence when reading.

This week we have focused on:

oo – poo at the zoo and oo – look at the book

ir- whirl and twirl and er – a better letter

ar – start the car

The children have verbally formed sentences using words with these sounds in and many have independently written their own sentences.

This week the children have looked at:

igh – fly high

aw – yawn at dawn

are – care and share

ow – blow the snow.

They have also looked at ee / ea sound  – we found lots in our story Jack and the Beanstalk.

The children have continued to revisit Set 1 sounds and used them to write words and sentences.  We are starting to see a lot more children have the confidence to write in Child initiated time and show good use of  their phonics knowledge to sound out and write words.

Some children have revisited igh – fly high, ow – blow the snow and oo – poo at the zoo.   For each trigraph/digraph the  children have written their own independent sentence with words containing the sound.

This week we have continued to focus on Set 1 sounds and writing words containing these.

We have also revisited and written sentences with words containing the following digraphs:

ir – whirl and twirl

ee – what can you see?

ou – shout it out

oo – look at the book

This week we have continued to focus on the sounds that we have already covered.  Everyday we work on segmenting and lending with Green Set 1 sounds -these can be viewed on the power point :   green words 1         or PDF: green words 1

Our focus sounds have been – th, ay and oy.

We have also practised our letter formations, I will attach these below for you to share with your children:  masdt
