We will segment and blend sounds to read words, captions and sentences. We will change our voices to match the different characters.
In 'Phonics', we will be focusing on
the following sounds:
Remember, 'digraphs have 2 letters 1 sound' and 'trigraphs 3 letters 1 sound'.
ladder hammer letter
rabbit bigger
puppet toffee
Listen carefully!
We will aim high when choosing a 'Reading Challenge' to complete!
We will be developing our 'fine motor' skills by taking part in a range of activities that are linked to our theme!
Writing Session
We will use our phonic knowledge to write words, captions and sentences that match pictures from the story!
E.g.
- rat
- the cat
- The cat is wet.
- The rat sat on his back.
We will learn about 'Chinese New Year' traditions and compare these with own experiences of 'New Year' celebrations.
P.E Session
We will take part in our own races!
We will learn to take part in team games and encourage our team members.
We will learn to stay positive, when faced with a challenge and understand the importance of 'taking part'.
'Wonderful Workshops'
This week, we will move on and experience another one of our workshops.
