Date: 17th May 2020 @ 7:12pm

Good Morning Year 1 and happy Monday!

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. I know it has been a long time since we have been in school and sometimes your home learning might feel a bit tricky but keep up the amazing work and don’t give up, as the more practice you have at home, the easier your learning will be when we eventually go back. Fingers crossed it won’t be too long until it’s safe for us to be in school.

Sentence of the day

Well done to all of those children who completed Friday’s sentence of the day.

On Monday Jack came home with a handful of magical beans. His mother was furious and she threw them out of the window.

Today’s sentence of the day focusses on those tricky words that you looked at on Friday. Are they all spelt correctly in this sentence?

Did Misus Green ask Mista Green for some cake?

Ow wow shouted the peepul when the dolphin flipped in the air.

Phonics

Let’s start our phonics by quickly recapping those tricky words. Write your tricky words onto scraps of paper and place them around the room. Play the tricky word video. When the song says the tricky word go and stand on that word.

Challenge one – When you have watched the video write down all of the three letter blends that you saw. Practice saying the blends so that you are confident in how they should sound when you read a word.

thr              scr              spr              spl               str              shr

Challenge two – Look at the words below. Can you sort them into the three letter consonant blend groups?

strictest                        throbbing              thriller                           strum                             stretcher              splinter

throne                            scream                  sprout

splashing                         straw                    shrill

Can you think of any other words that can be put into the different consonant blend groups?
