Being thankful

Gerald Giraffe is thankful he can practise his special friends sounds …

What are you thankful for?

morning register

Do the morning register - look at what day it is and and practise writing your name.

Do you remember the writing phrase for today's sound? Can you practise writing it whilst saying the writing phrase?

Todays writing phrase is; Maisie mountain mountain

You can either ask mum or dad to print a copy for you to write on, or you can make your own register to use at home.

Phonics

Phonics 17 May.mp4

  • Review Set 1 sounds


  • Blending orally without Speed Sound Cards

    • Fred talk words (MTYT):

      • m-a-t mat

      • a-t at

      • m-a-d mad

      • s-a-d sad


  • Blending with Speed Sound Cards

    • Say the word clearly so that your child can hear it i.e., mat

    • Build the word. Say “I need…..” - ask your child to tell you the sound that you need and place the card down so that they can see it. Repeat with all the sounds in the word

    • Point to the sound and say the sounds (m-a-t) then sweep your finger under the word and say the word (mat)


  • Read the Green word cards (you can write them on paper or a whiteboard or use the teaching video as a reference)

    • Read the words with the children. Show them the dots and dashes and ask them if they can see any special friends

    • Ask the children to say the sounds in Fred talk

    • Say the word out loud running your finger under the word


  • Review the words with your child and support them to read the words without the dots and dashes

do you remember

Positional Language

Positional Language.mp4

Learning Objective:

To be able to use positional language in different contexts


You will need:

  • A selection of vegetables or objects to place in different positions to reinforce some prepositional language


Learning activity:

  • Place your object (vegetable) in various positions and support with language

  • Turnip is ON the table

  • Turnip is UNDER the table

  • Turnip is BEHIND the book

  • Continue to extend prepositional language according to your child's interest i.e. in front of/ next to/ in/above/below


Other ideas:

  • Act out the story of the enormous turnip using props and incorporating prepositional language as you move through the story.

some extra fun ;-)

Squiggle art

Each player gets a piece of paper, makes a squiggle on it, then trades with someone. Then make a picture out of the squiggle. The beauty is in the simplicity, as children see that you can turn any mark into art. It’s fun for the adults to see what kids come up with, too!


great learning today Giraffes!

Have a super afternoon and I will see you again tomorrow :-)
