Phonics
This week:
ie ee
Think of words with the sounds in and ask your child to read them.
Then ask children to write words with the sounds it.
This is to ensure they are applying their phonics to their reading and writing.
If your child is finding a sound tricky then look at that single sound during that lesson
Search the sound and Geraldine the Giraffe on YouTube
Literacy

Friday: Can you think of another story book with food in it? Read it with a family member!
For each day you can adapt the task to your child's learning needs. If your child finds it tricky then focus on discussion of the story and writing initial sounds of words. To extend your child, focus on writing sentences.
