Post date: 06-Jan-2016 00:22:17

Dear Parents,

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and that you and your family enjoyed the break. We will finish this week on our Aistear theme of the Hairdressers/Barbers and will move to the Building Site next week. If you find a test in the homework folder please sign and return it to me. I saw that most children completed some activities on Studyladder. – A reminder on this - Inside your child’s homework folder is a username and password for the www.studyladder.co.uk website. I have assigned 2 activities for the children to do this week. These are not compulsory. You can use the easy access login page on our class website. Just click on the studyladder link on the right hand side on our class website, find your child’s name and login using the password in the homework folder. We can use studyladder for free. You do not need to sign up or pay for anything if you are asked on the website. I can see the results of the activities completed by the children. https://www.studyladder.co.uk/myschool/220213/myclass/723495

Word Wallet activities.

Jolly Phonics – We have covered all 42 sounds now. Please check if there are any sounds that your child does not know. You will see that phonics test this week to sign and return. We will now start learning the alternative ways to spell some of the sounds /y/ (sunny), /ea/, /igh/, /ow/ (snow), /ew/, /ir/, /ur/, /au/, /aw/, /al/, /oy/, /ow/ (cow)

Tricky Word activities. – Children will continue revising the Tricky Words. We are near the end of List 3 now.

1. Match the coloured card to its place on the white card. (Place the “they” on top of the white “they”)

2. Say the word.

3. Ask the children for a sentence with that word in it. (I saw that they were lost.)

We will not have any written homework this week but please keep up the reading and word wallet activities and if possible have a go at the online Studyladder activities.

Thanks

Mr. Gleeson.
