Animal Adventures – part 2
Picture of the day – writing challenge: Here is your first writing challenge this week. Have a look at the picture and talk about what you can see and what you think might be happening in the picture. When you have talked about the picture, decide what you would like to write about. Some sentence starters could be: The boat…… I can see… I like……. They…. Use your sound board to help when sounding out or to use tricky words.
Phonics: Here is a link to some video clips on Espresso. They are useful for supporting our learning with a focus on Letter Teams at the end of words. Unfortunately, Espresso, have muddled up the labels for each video, so I will point you in the right direction! Watch the video clip and talk about the words together, then have a go at writing some of them in a phoneme frame, just like last week. If you want to, you could draw pictures to match some of them. (login details from Friday last week)

This first video is actually called Good as Gold and you will come across words such as desk and vest.

Read a book in bed/in your pyjamas. Read near some flowers or on some grass.
