Happy Snow Day from Year One!
We are very excited that today is a snow day but we are going to miss seeing you all today. Above anything, Mrs Watts and I would like you all to have lots and lots of snow fun and stay safe! We are excited to hear all your stories and adventures on Monday. Please send in photos of wonderful snowmen and snowball fun! We would love to see them and share them in circle time. We have popped a few learning ideas below just in case you are missing school today!
Phonics- Today if you can please can you spend some time practising your phonics book. This is the weekly book (the one in the folder). When you have done this, could you have a go at creating your own Obb and Bob game? In school we are practising hard to remember all the sounds we have learned and we are preparing for the screening test in June. We play a game with two Aliens, Obb and Bob. Could you draw or make Obb and Bob and then make a set of ten cards. On five of the cards can you write real words using the digraphs/trigraphs oa, ee, igh, ai, oo. On the other five can you think of five fake words using the same five sounds?
When you have done this can you challenge someone in your house to sort them out into real/ fake words. The real words are fed to Bob and the fake ones to Obb.
Maybe an adult could make you some cards to sort? Maybe they can trick you? Maybe you can trick them?
English- If you would like to practise some English you can have a go at writing some snowy sentences.
Snow from the window- Can you write sentences to tell me what you can see from your window? When you do this the main focus is to practise your clear sentence writing skills. Remember, phonics fingers, finger spaces, clear graphemes, full stop at the end of each sentence and capital letter at the beginning. Ideally we would like you to try to use some snowy adjectives to make your sentences amazing. If you bring your sentences into school on Monday, we will be giving out some house points.
