Hi all,
A final reminder that tomorrow morning is our first class assembly! We have had our final practice today and it was fantastic to see how many children had clearly been practicing their lines at home! Thank you for all your efforts in this. Start time is 9.20am in the hall.
On to phonics. This week signifies the beginning of the digraphs! These are sounds that are mad up of two letters. Naturally, these can become a little more confusing to begin with so any extra practice you can do at home is definitely worthwhile! I've popped a list of words for children to have a go at sounding out and writing at the bottom. Children will know all of the sounds and letters in all the words!
'sh' - as in shop - Put your finger up to you lips and say sh, sh, sh
'ch' - as in chin - roll arms round by sides, like a train and say ch, ch, ch
'th' - as in thin - Pretend to be a naughty clown and stick your tongue out a little. This sound can be split in to two - soft & hard 'th' Soft 'th' is thin hard 'th' is that. We will be exploring the hard 'th' tomorrow. It is the same action.
