Wednesday sentence of the day and phonics

Date: 13th May 2020 @ 9:29am

Good Morning! We had lots of pictures of your learning in yesterday, it’s great to see you all so busy. 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 to yesterday’s sentence of the day. If you saw that the full stops were missing you were correct! Well done! The sentence should have looked like this…

The young boy planted a miniscule seed in the gritty soil. Every day he splashed the seed with water, but it didn’t grow. He waited and waited and one day out from the dark soil sprouted a little green stem.

Here is today’s sentence. What needs altering today?

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.

Phonics

Let’s start todays phonics by recapping those initial blends that you looked at yesterday.

bl           pl           gl           cl           fl

Write some words out to match each blend, for example, blue, plane, glove, clown, flowers; now place them on the floor. Ask your grown up to play some music, when the music stops pick up a word and read it out loud. If you read the word correctly you can keep it, if not you have to put it back down.

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

Here are our blends today…

nk                 st                 nd                 mp                ft

Here are your three challenges

Challenge one – Make a hopscotch using the different words you saw in the video. You can do this with chalks outside or on pieces of paper and lie them on the floor.

Challenge two – Play a game of hopscotch, when you land on the word, read it. If you want it to be a competition, play with a family member and pick the words up as you land on them. The person with the most words is the winner.

Challenge three – Can you use any of the words to make sentences?

Hope you have a lovely day J
