Previous Learning:
*Please find the learning for this week below.
Each week I will save the previous learning here where you will find a link.
Introduction to your home learning packs…
Speed sounds, green words and red words…
Please check our web page regularly for updates. I will be uploading planning, support materials and vidoes to support your child’s learning. Your child will be invited to weekly check-ins (on Microsoft Teams) which will take place every Thursday starting from 14/01/20. This is an opportunity for your child to see me, ask any questions, show any work they are proud of and to see some of their friends they might be missing (an adult must be present during these video calls). I will also be continuing to contact you through Marvellous Me – if you have any problems setting this up, please contact the school office. 
Timetable for learning
Please find a suggested timetable on the link below, please do not feel like you need to stick to this rigidly. This is helpful to use to ensure your child has a consistent routine but we understand that the home is a very different place to school. Please allow your child lots of time to play and relax and not to place too much pressure on the activities we have planned. Take this time to enjoy learning alongside your child.

Phonics
Monday:
Race the timer game
You can use tricky words or letter sound cards.
Place around 10 of either the tricky words or letter sound cards across the floor. Explain to your child that they have 30 seconds to pick up as many cards as possible. You will call out either a tricky word or a letter sound, they will pick it up hand it to you and then find the next one you call out. How many can they pick up in 30 seconds?
Repeat the game and see if they can beat their previous score.

Story Time
We read every day in school and the children love to listen to different stories. In this section I will be uploading new videos daily for your child to listen to. Please ask your child questions about the story to find out their level of understanding. We often read the same story more than once so that the children become familiar with how it is structured; they often re tell the story themselves.
You can also visit our page on Teams where you will find lots of stories read by the staff. You will need to go to the files section and click ‘Story time.
Support Materials
Handwriting/ Letter formation
We teach the children their letter sounds using the Read Write Inc phonics scheme. Each letter sound has a picture to support your child writing and reading the sound. Below are the pictures and how we form the letter, using pre cursive handwriting. It is important your child remembers to ‘whoosh up’ at the beginning of the letter to ensure they are forming it correctly.
Click the link below to find out how to form the letter sounds

Favourite Five Books

They are often able to re tell the story themselves. You will find the books we are focusing on this term below. Miss McConnell will be reading them each week for the children to watch and listen to – watch this space!
Spring Term 1
- The Lion Inside
- On the way home
