Sounds this week

Hello everyone,

We are really pushing on with our phonics and hopefully you are beginning to see this at  home. All the children will receive their new group reading book this week. Can we please ask that everyone brings in their book bag and pops it into their tray. We will be sending home sound pots in the next week or so, so please look out for these also. More explanation will follow. Whilst we are still covering sounds this week we are also having a bit of a focus on tricky words. Today the children came up with some actions to help them remember the first group of tricky words and I've put these below as well. 

Sounds this week:

'f' as in fog - Let hands gently come together as if a ball was deflating and say f f f f f f.

'l' as in log - Pretend to lick a lollipop and say l l l l l l.

'h' as in hot - Hold hand in front of mouth panting as if you are out of breath and say h, h, h

'b' as in bat - Pretend to hit a ball with a bat and say b, b, b.

Tricky words being covered at the moment:

I - point to your eye.

the - hands together (palm up) as if you're closing a book and saying THE end.

go - fingers walking across your hand

to - hold 2 fingers up

no - shake finger

I hope these are useful. This will signal the end of the first group of sounds. We will be starting the next group of sounds the week after next - next week will be a consolidating week.
