Phonics – ‘n’ ‘p’

Over the last 2 days the children have looked at ‘n’ and ‘p’.

They have practised the sound each letter makes and had a go at writing them.

To write ‘n’ we say ‘Down Nobby and over his net’ and for ‘p’ we say ‘ down his plait and over the pirate’s face.’

The children have played initial sounds – http://www.crickweb.co.uk/Early-Years.html

and to help with segmenting and blending – http://www.iboard.co.uk/teacher/bictonclass1/1/5 Stage 1 and 2.

Phonics this week

Last week the children looked at the sounds for ‘m’ ‘a’ ‘s’ ‘d’ . This week we have continued to look at these sounds and have also looked at ‘t’ and ‘i’ so far this week. When forming ‘t’ we say ‘down the tower, across the tower’ and for ‘i’ we say ‘down the body and dot for the head.’

I have attached powerpoint copy of all the letters and sounds that we will be covering over the next few weeks.

We are also practising writing our names everyday.

2 d Maths fun

Each group has been busy doing different 2d maths activities today. Some children went on a shape walk, some children used shapes to collage a scarecrow and the rest played shape games. Over the next few days all the children will get an opportunity to do all 3 activities.

To support your child ask them to find different shapes in the home and when you are out and about.

Phonics and letter formations

The children have looked at 2 new letters and their sounds this week – ‘s’ and ‘d’ . When forming the letter ‘s’ we say ‘Slither down the snake.’ and for ‘d’ we say ‘around the dinosaurs bottom, up his tall neck and down to his feet.’

Today the children used chalks, play doh and whiteboard pens to form all the letters we have done this week.
