Homework note Week 6

Post date: 07-Oct-2015 07:54:26

Dear Parents,

The children have settled in after their move to their new tables and shapes. We had a visit from our local Garda Alan last week and we had an interesting discussion. See our class website for some pictures. We took a walk looking for signs of Autumn and learned some football skills.

Just a few notes.

Earphones – please send those in.

Aistear Theme the Grocery Shop – changing to the farm next week.

Word Wallet activities. (These are progressing)

Jolly Phonics – for each sound

1. Match the green sound, make the sound and show you the action.

2. Ask the children to make a word or words using the sounds (green cards) they already have. This week we are working on words that contain the “ee” or “or”sound. Try to make these words

Monday bee, see,

Tuesday sheep, feet and tree

Wednesday fork, short,

Thursday torch, corn and storm

Sight Word activities.

1. Match the blue card to its place on the white card. (Place the blue Brian on top of the white Brian)

2. Children say the name.

3. Ask the children for a sentence or sentences with that name in it. (Brian has a red car.)

4. Suggest that they give you a sentence where the word Brian is not at the start of the sentence.

If you need to make a new sound or name you can use the reverse of this page stuck to a piece of card. I will give rewards to the children who have all of theirs.

This week we will talk about the characters and setting of a story, use Google Earth and 1^st Class will be learning more spellings and the 2+ tables.

Thanks

Mr. Gleeson.
