This week in year 1 we have been covering ai, ee, oo and oa in our phonics sessions. Maybe you could ask your children to write some words with those sounds in like the examples above-don’t forget your sound buttons!!
If you bring in your sounds I will be giving out house points-I wonder how many words you can think of?

This week in Year 1 we are recapping our Phase 3 Phonics sounds and we are focusing on ch, sh, th and ng. I have added a video that the children like with all the phase 3 sounds, if you have a spare moment, maybe you could sing along.
Thanks for your support
Mrs Wallace
Emily- Rai, Ellie, Ryan and Ruby all have dedicated their choosing time and time at home to write their own version of ‘The Tadpole’s Promis’ by Jeanne Willis and Tony Ross. They have blown me away with how hard they have worked and I’ve loved that they love the book as much as I do! If any of you out there haven’t read it – do! It’s brilliant with one crazy twist!
To help you support your child in their phonics learning, here are the Phase 3 and Phase 5 sounds. By knowing these sounds, your child will feel more confident in tackling reading the real and pseudo words.
If your child can read words which include these sounds, please write them down in your child’s reading journal so they can be awarded extra house points!

Next month Year 1 children will be taking the phonics screening assessment.
Here are some YouTube videos which may help your child reading real and pseudo words similar to the ones they will need to read in the screening.
Happy reading!

Don’t we look BOOKtastic? We are having a fabulous time all dressed up as our favourite characters.
WE LOVE WORLD BOOK DAY!
The children all worked so hard last week in phonics and loved working in child led circles to write as many ‘igh’ trigraph words as they could as a team.
Well done Ava!
Ava’s amazing design has been selected as a winner from lots of entries from all over Doncaster, in the Doncaster Book Award ‘Design-a-Dragon’ Competition. Ava put lots of effort into her Dragoon design at book club and at home and her design has been chosen as a winner by the Book Award Committee! Ava has now been invited to a ceramic arts day with a professional artist during half term, where she will be able to bring her design to life and make her dragon design out of clay!
Ava and her winning dragon!
Congratulations Ava – I’m sure you’re going to have an amazing time!
Dante and Dexter worked so hard to use their phonics to write sentences with the ‘oa’ digraph. They remembered to include capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. Well done boys! Excellent phonics work!

Bradley, Harry and Ellie all went to visit Mr Butler today to show off their amazing imitate writing of the story Beegu. Mr Butler and I are so proud of you all! Well done!
