Thursday 4th February 2021 - The Gingerbread Baby!

 

Notes for this week:

This week is all about The Gingerbread Man - We will be suggesting you make Gingerbread People on Tuesday, so this is one possible recipe.

Phonics Activities - Our daily phonics activities over the next few weeks of term will be consolidating what we have learned so far. It is important for your children to be able to read with all of the letter and digraph sounds that they have learned so far, but also for them to be able to write with all of those sounds as well! 

Below are a variety of resources that you can print at home to support your child's phonics reading and phonics writing.

(Please let us know during your next live session if you will have any difficulty printing at home)

You will need to choose either Phase 2 (alphabet letters only) or Phase 3 (alphabet plus digraphs learned so far), depending on what your child is reading and practising on Bug Club. (Please ask your teachers if you are unsure which Phase to choose)

There are also letter formation practise sheets and links to phonics games for everyone to access.
