This week in Phonics we have been covering the following sounds. The sounds will be sent out for the children to be practising to recognise the phoneme, say the phoneme and then write the grapheme.
The children are really starting to learn and retain those sounds but will need support to blend those sounds together. Have a go at the green words and the more they hear those sounds being blended the easier it will become.
Thanks

On November 1st it is National Authors Day!
With all of our hard work towards our Reading Library we’d like to know who your favourite authors are?
How could you celebrate your favourite author?
We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
Have a lovely half term!
How many astronauts do you know?
As part of National Space Week, why don’t you choose an astronaut to research? You could make a poster or a fact file about your chosen astronaut.
You could even listen to the story of Tim Peake, Neil Armstrong and Mae Jemison. Did you know these Big Dreams, Little People book are quizzable on Accelerated Reader?
This week in phonics it has been our consolidation week. We have been revisiting all of the sounds that we have learned so far and practising the phonemes and then writing the graphemes.
There will be no new homework sheet this week as we have not covered any new sounds. It would be great if you could support your child by going over the sounds that we have taught so far on the previous homework sheets and have a go at reading the green words.
Below are the sounds we have learned so far.
Enjoy!

On Thursday, it is National Poetry Day! As it links with this weeks Reading Week it would be great to see lots of you get involved.
Below is a link to the official website where it tells you lots of information about the day and ways that you can get involved.
The theme this year is COUNTING. I wonder how many of you could write a short poem linking to the theme?
On the same link, it shows you lots of examples of poems. You might even want to practice one of them at home. Would you have the courage to perform the poem to your crew?
Send photographs, videos or bring in your poems – We can’t wait to see them!

Next week is Green Libraries week. Have you ever visited your local library?
To celebrate, Crew Council is setting everyone a task to recommend their favourite books to their peers.
You could present this as a poster, a book review, a leaflet or a picture of the front cover of your favourite book.
Next week, your Crew Councillor will be presenting theirs – this might help you with some ideas!
Please hand in your finished piece to your Crew leaders. These will look amazing in your class reading area! You could even bring in your favourite book to share with your friends!
As an extra challenge – Could you research what Green Libraries week is about? What does it mean to be Green and Sustainable?
I can’t wait to see what you all come up with!
This week the children have been practicing hearing their first set of phonemes in words s/a/t/p, fast blending the phonemes to say words and at breaking down the phonemes in a word! We have been writing the grapheme in lots of different ways to become more confident and remember how to form the graphemes correctly!
The children will receive a homework sheet every Friday (starting today) to practise and consolidate the sounds that we have covered that week. It would be really helpful to aid your child’s progress to practise these phonemes with them daily to ensure that they can retain those sounds.
If you are unsure about phonics or some of the phonics vocabulary that we use with the children we will be holding a Phonics Family Learning session on Wednesday 25th September from 2-3. This session will explain what our phonics sessions look like, the vocabulary used and what you can do to support your child.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask a member of the F2 team.
Mrs Wallace and Mrs Jones.
