Home Learning, Wednesday 8th July 2020

Hi Beech Class. Well done for all the fantastic work you have done this week. I have been so impressed with everything I have seen in class and what I have been sent from home. Keep up the great work! Here is the learning for today …

English

Today we are going to look again at the story Meerkat Mail:

Pay attention to where Sunny goes on his adventures.

Pretend you are going on an adventure like Sunny. Where are you going?

What will you take on your trip?

Write a list inside your suitcase using commas to separate items.(Reinforcing learning from the other week).

We use commas in a list just like this:

You could draw pictures and label what you have packed if this is more appropriate.

Phonics

Use this to recap previous learning:

phonics recap day 3

Today we are looking at alternative oo

https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk/resources/phase/5/alt-spellings-oo

Choose Phoneme Spotter. Read the text aloud, asking the children to listen carefully
for the /00/ phoneme. Reread the first sentence or two and ask children to put their thumbs up
when they hear that phoneme (they may find this easier with their eyes closed). In pairs, give
children a printed copy of the phoneme spotter. Ask them to underline all words they can find
containing the phoneme and ask them to see how many ways of spelling the phoneme there
are. They can jot these down on the side of the page.
Click on the Reveal Graphemes button. The /ai/ phonemes will be revealed as well as a list
of all the graphemes included in the phoneme spotter. Get children to tick all the ones they
found.

Or alternatively to the above – use this:

Spellings should be available to practice on Spelling Shed.
