Homework Note Week 7

Post date: 07-Oct-2016 14:12:57

Dear Parents,

Literacy Lift Off is going well and will continue until the Halloween break. I want to encourage the children to examine their own writing and to try to improve it. As part of that I will give 5 Dojo points to the writer of the week each week. This award will be for effort. We are continuing our Aistear theme of the building site. There is a sheet in the homework folder with various types of buildings. Please ask the children what type of building it is and what it might be used for.

Aistear Theme the Building Site

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 “ie” sound. Try to make these words

e.g. tie, pie, lie, die, tried, spied and fried.

3. Make sure to use the “ie” sound and not the i and e

Sight Word activities.

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

2. Children say the name.

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

4. Suggest that they give you a sentence where the word Luke 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 dojo points to the children who have all of theirs.

This week we will play in our building site and seniors will learn the story of 7 (All the ways to make 7).

1^st Class will continue learning spellings and 3+ tables.

Thanks

Mr. Gleeson.
