Sentence of the day
I hope you have been enjoying your sentences of the day - I am sorry about my croaky voice!
Todays phonics focus is split digraphs. You will be looking at the a-e and the e-e split digrpahs today.

Use these videos as a starting point and play some games with the children. You may want to collect some items in your house and ask the children to sort them into things that have an a-e split digraph and things that have an e-e split digraph. If I spy was a hit the other day you might want to play that again. There are a-e and e-e words in your home learning packs for the children to practice reading. You may want to cut these up and place them around the house and ask the children to go on a treasure hunt for them all.
English writing - with a phonics link
The focus for todays writing is linked to the trigraph phonics that you did on Monday. The children can re watch the Geraldine the Giraffe videos to remind them of the different sounds. In your packs you have some pictures and word cards with words containing the four trigraphs on them - air, ear, ure, igh. The children can use the cards to make their own silly stories, poems or sentences.
Wishing you all a lovely Wednesday :)
