Diary Entry:

Every week we would like you to write a diary entry in your exercise book we gave you about something you have done at home. We look forward to reading them when you are back.

You could ask your grown up to photograph your writing and send it to your teacher via email or on the blog. The teachers will be sharing what they have been up to on the blog.

This Weeks Task:

As part of our new topic we will be exploring farm animals. Your task for this week is to think about what you would see at a farm.

Have you been to a farm before? If not have a look at the Knowledge and Understanding Page for this week, where we have put links to videos from Longdown Dairy Farm with Farmer Bryan and all his animals.

Discuss with your child what they may see at a farm. You might want to think about what animals you may see? Where they might be? What they may have? You also might want to think about what else you would see around a farm. Would there be any tractors? What about any playgrounds?

You could after have a look at a few different farm websites and see what they have at their farms.

Reading:

Remember to read at least 3 times a week.

Maybe you would like to have a go at some of the Reading Challenges below:

Don't forget to also be practising your tricky words.

Below is a new activity that you might want to try at home. A great way to practice those tricky words and have lots of fun too!

Phonics:

Use the Phonic Sheets we have sent home or the PowerPoint to practice saying all the Phase 2 and Phase 3 sounds we have learnt in school. How many have you got correct?

To help decide which phonic activities are appropriate for your child ask them whose Phonic group they are in.

If they are with Miss Turner, Miss Campbell or Mrs Atkinson then they need to select the Phase 3 Activities.

If they are with Mrs Wombell, Mrs Anderson or Miss Meek then they need to select the Phase 2 Activities.

Hope this helps
