Monday
good morning giraffes!
You are outstanding :-)
mark making
Do the morning register - look at what day it is and and practise writing your name.
Choose your favourite words - can you blend the sounds and form the letters.
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.
morning fun
Gerald Giraffe is learning to sound out these words... Can you help him?
story of the day
Today’s story Miaow said the Cow is read to you by Miss Anre.
Phonics
Below are three videos for your child to access when they are practising the speed sounds. The videos are purposely separated into three in order to support your child at the appropriate level. If you are unsure as to which video to use, please contact me via the learning log or email.
MTYT Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child needs to hear the sounds first and then repeat it after me
MTYT Set 1 Special friends: Use this video if your child needs to hear the special friends (digraphs) sounds first and then repeat it after me
Set 1 Speed Sounds: Use this video if your child is confident practising the sounds independently without support
Once you have completed the appropriate speed sound video, please continue with the daily phonics learning video below.

Blending orally without Speed Sound Cards
Fred talk words (MTYT):
b-a-d bad
f-a-n fan
f-u-n fun
f-a-t fat
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
gross motor skills
Hopscotch
Learning Objective:
To manage body rhythm
To build body strength, balance, eye / hand coordination
You will need:
Masking / painters tape
bean bag / plastic plate / counter / plastic disc
Learning activity:
Create a simple hopscotch board on the floor with numbers
Ask your child to toss a bean bag / plastic plate / plastic disc on a space
Call out the number and jump to get there
Balance on one foot, pick up the object
Continue to move through the numbers until you return to the beginning
Extra Activity:
Replace numbers with shapes / colours / sounds / CVC (sight) words
some extra fun ;-)
Creating an abacus
Use art supplies to practice math and fine motor skills. You just need string, scissors, tape, paper and beads. Cut a piece of string, tape one end of the string onto the paper and begin stringing the beads. String 10 beads on and tape down the other end of the string. That makes one row. Your child can make as many rows as they like.
Tip: Circle-shaped cereal (like Cheerios) or candies (like Lifesavers) can replace beads in a pinch. Keep the abacus for counting practice.
great learning today giraffes!
I hope you had a great time learning today! I will see you again tomorrow :-)
