Friday sentence of the day and phonics
Date: 22nd May 2020 @ 9:33am
Good Morning everyone! Can you believe it is Friday all over again?
Sentence of the day
Here are the answers to yesterday’s sentence. If you noticed that I hadnt used a sound mat to write my sentence, then you were correct! Well done!
Wednesday was a glorious day, the sun was shining and the birds were chirping in the tall towering trees.
Have a look at today’s sentence. It’s Friday and I am feeling a little sleepy, so their might be quite a few mistakes in there.

Phonics
Today we are going to start our phonics by recapping our polysyllabic words. Ask your grown up to say some different words with more than one syllable. Can you clap or stomp or chomp out how many syllables that word has?
For today’s phonics we are going back to tricky words. Today we are going to look at a mixture of phase 3, 4 and 5 tricky words. It’s your job to choose the ones that you find most difficult and practice them.
Challenge one – Watch the tricky word videos. When the video is finished write down any of the words that you found difficult to read or remember. These will be your own unique list of words to practice today. If there are lots of words in phase 3 that you are unsure of then just practice phase three, you can move onto phase 4 and 5 another day J

Phase 5 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeIbtzh-ALM&t=23s
There isn’t a phase 5 song online so if you fancy making a phase 5 tricky word song for us all and sending it in that would be amazing! There will be a special prize when we return to school for anyone who makes us a catchy song with music!
Challenge two – Now that you have your word list its time to play a game. Today’s game is heads up! For this game you will need a family member who can read the tricky words to play with.
Write the tricky words onto separate pieces of paper. Close your eyes and your partner is going to stick the word onto your head. You need to ask questions to see if you can solve which word is on your head. For example – does it have the letter a in it? Does it have a capital letter?
Challenge three – Now that you have played a game to practice recognising your tricky words, it’s time to put them into sentences. Can you write some silly sentences with your tricky words in?
Hope you all have a lovely day!
