Happy Monday! Phonics and literacy
Date: 29th Mar 2020 @ 7:26pm
Good Morning everyone! Can you believe it's week 2 of our home learning! Well done everyone for all of your hard work last week! We hope you also took some time to enjoy the lovely sunshine!
Don't forget that Joe Wicks is doing a P.E lesson to wake up our brains and bodies every morning at 9am (It's definitly helped me wake up!). I have been trying to get us a shout out most mornings so keep watching and keep your fingers crossed, he might just mention us!

Sentence of the day
This week we are going to do our sentence of the day a little differently.
Here's the challenge...
Everyday I will give you a sentence, it will have no mistakes but it will be a little boring. I want you to make the sentences much more exciting! They will need WOW words (adjectives) and maybe even some connectives (and,but,because). When you have made my sentence better I want you to take a picture and email it to y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk and I will put as many pictures as I can on to the next days blog.

Todays phonics focuses on the ai vowel family - ay, ai, a-e
In your homelearning pack you have lots of words with these sounds in them and some worksheets to go with them. These are just a starting point- be creative, invent your own games. Here are a few good ones I've seen online -
phonics shoot - read a word and try and score a goal
Phonics splat - find the words and splat them
Phonics hunt - grown up says a word you need to find it in the time limit
I wonder if anyone can create their own phonics games and send them on to me.

SPAG
Todays SPAG focuses on adding the suffix -ing to words. In your homelearning packs you have a worksheet to go with this, but like with the other learning this week let's remember to get active, moving around keeps your brains healthy and will stop you becoming bored (save the worksheets for then!)
Look at the different root words in your pack, what will they become when you add -ing?
Play a game of simon says can you do the actions and say the new word?
Simon says jump - I am jumping
Simon says skip - I am skipping
Can you write the sentences to match what you did?

Dont forget to take some pictures of all the fun activities you're doing and send them to y1homelearning@ravensbury.manchester.sch.uk we'd love to see your smiling faces ! Also if you have any questions please email us !
Here are our stars of the week this week! Well done boys, it's lovely to see you so busy with smiles on your faces and learning in the garden!
See you again tomorrow for some more home learning!
