good morning giraffes
You are awesome :-)
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.

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):
k-i-t kit
m-u-d mud
u-p up
c-u-p cup
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
Math
Creating patterns
Learning Objection:
To begin to use the vocabulary of pattern
To complete a simple repeating pattern (two objects / shapes / toys / colours)
You will need:
Selection of objects (toys / buttons / plates)
At least two of the same object. Minimum of three sets of objects
Learning activity:
Line up one complete set of objects. Name and talk about them
Make a pattern by placing the next set of objects in the same order next to the first set
Explain what you are doing
Make a pattern by doing something. “Let’s make a pattern with how we move. Jump - step - jump - step”
Make a sound pattern with instruments i.e., kitchen pans / Tupperware containers. BANG - tap - tap - BANG - tap - tap. Start out by making a sound pattern and having your child copy you.
some extra fun ;-)
Tracing lines with gems
This fine motor activity is super simple to set up and works to strengthen hand to eye coordination and concentration. Ask your child to mark out some lines (straight or curved) on some paper. Give your child some coloured gems, buttons or beads and ask them to trace along the lines with gems, buttons or beads.
great learning today giraffes!
Have a super, duper, mega, fantastic day :-)
