Date: 14th May 2020 @ 10:24am

Good Morning! Can you believe it’s Thursday already!

It has been lovely to see lots of you busy with your learning. Remember that you can still go on Lexia and active learn so that you can practice your reading skills every day.

Sentence of the day

Here are the answers for yesterday. Well done if you spotted it – the capital letters were missing. We need capital letters at the start of the sentence and for names and days of the week.

Joe loves gardening when the weather gets warmer. Last Sunday he purchased some tiny round seeds from the shop. When he got home he found a large shiny pot and planted the seeds deep into the soggy brown mud.

Today’s sentence of the day is all about your phonics. Some of the words are spelt incorrectly, use your sound mats to make sure they are correct.

Phonics

Let’s start todays phonics by practicing the end blends that you looked at yesterday.

Write the end blends on paper and put them around a room. Ask your grown up to read these words. Listen to the word they read and then stand next to the end blend that it matches.

bunk                                      loft                                         trump

toast                                      ghost                                     trunk

hand                                      found                                    hound

Today you are going to be looking at end blends again. End blends are blends that come at the end of a word. Watch the youtube video to find out more.

Practice reading the blends one by one

Here are your three challenges…

Challenge one – Watch the video and write down the different words with the end blends in them. If you can think of any other words that match the blends then write them down too. Copy all of the words so that you have two sets.

Challenge two – Play a game of pairs with a family member. If you find a pair you win the cards, if not turn them over and wait for your next turn.

Challenge three – Silly sentences- how many silly sentences can you write using the words?

Hope you have a lovely day! Don’t forget to send us your learning. We love seeing your smiling faces!
