Week beginning 4th January, 2021:
This week we will revisit all the sounds that we have previously taught (e.g. m, a, s, d, t, i, n, p, g, o, c, k, u , b, f, e, l, h, r sh, j v, y and w). Any practise with these sounds at home will help support your child with their phonics knowledge. This week we will be learning the sounds: th and z. Please scroll down for a copy of this week's letter formation sheets
Please watch the videos, then go on a 'th' and 'z' hunt around your house. Draw and label what you found!

In addition to writing words beginning with 'th' and 'z,' we will be writing about our favourite present from Father Christmas.
We will also be spelling simple CVC words e.g. cat, dog etc containing the sounds that we have already covered. Children will use their sound mats to help support them with their writing. On the first page of our class page, scroll down and you will find a copy labelled 'Sound Mats.'
We will be recapping counting 0-10 forwards, backwards and from different starting points e.g. 4,5,6 etc. We will be answering one more and one less than questions for any given number 1-10. This week we will be doing lots of practical counting of objects, both indoors and outdoors to help with our one-to-one correspondence. We will then progress to count pictures of superheroes than cannot be moved as we count. We will be practising our number formation and making sure that all our numbers start from the top!
We will continue to practise our word blending during our Phonics lessons. We will use Fred Frog to help us. We will also be learning the Red Words on your 'Reading Letter 4' that has been sent home already.
