Friday sentence of the day and phonics

Date: 1st May 2020 @ 9:36am

Can you believe another week has flown by and it’s Friday again! We’ve had some great pictures through this week of you all busy with your learning! We can’t wait to show you them on our celebration blog later!

Sentence of the day

All of yesterday’s sentence were all questions, so they all needed a question mark at the end of them. We know that they are questions because they are asking something and they have our special asking words at the start of the sentence.

Will lots of bugs come to the bug hotel?

Do you like bug hotels?

Why do the bugs like the bug hotel?

What is the bug hotel called?

Well done YuXiang and Kaya you managed to find them all! Brilliant detective work!

Here is today’s sentence. How can you describe the bug house and make it more interesting to read.

I have made a _________________bug hotel.

How many adjectives can you think of to describe the bug hotel?

Phonics

Put a timer on for a minute, how many ways can you think of to make the ee sound from yesterday. Write them down. If you still have some time left, think of some words that are spelt with the different ee graphemes.

ee                 ea                 e-e               ey                 y

Today’s phonics focusses on the igh sound family.

For today’s challenge I want you to make your own giant roll and read. You will need 6 rows all with 5 words on. A bit like this…

Your words need to have all of the igh sound family graphemes in them. Once you have written the words you can play! Maybe play against one of your family, who can read the most words? Or play on your own, time yourself and see if you can beat your time.

Remember there are also lots of phonics games on https://new.phonicsplay.co.uk/ for you to play and practice your phonics skills.

Hope you all have a brilliant day. Don’t forget to check back on the blog later for our weekly celebration!
