a- e – Make a cake

i-e – A nice smile

We have started our new topic of The Jolly Postman and Friends, by looking at what a Post person does and what happens in a post office.  The children have started to use our post office area and have lots of ideas about what they want in there.

We wondered if mums and dads could help us out?  Here is our wish list:

*stamps (used ones cut off envelopes)

* stamper to frank the mail with

*post person dress up clothes

* post bag

*unusual shaped parcels for the children to deliver

*old bit of stationery that could be donated

If you have anything that you think would be suitable, Class 1 would be very grateful.

Thank you  🙂

Last week and this week the children have looked at the following digraphs and trigraph and have learnt a mnemonic for each one  :

ar – start the car

or – shut the door

air – That’s not fair

ir – whirl and twirl

ou – shout it out

oy – toy for a boy

ea – cup of tea

oi – spoil the boy

The children have also segmented and blended words with these sounds in.

Please find attached a copy of Set 2 sounds and the the words we have covered.

Over the last week and this week we have continued to revise set 1 sounds and words.  We have been working on our segmenting and blending skills..   The children have also been building up sentences using some of the words we have looked at.

New sounds covered have been, ee and igh.
