Keeping cool! 😎😎☀️☀️☀️
Water play today - key words written on mini sea creatures. How many words can we read in 1 minute? Can we beat our last score?
We also found lots of rhyming clues around the garden and we were detectives, solving the mystery of which word was missing!

Noun Phrases!
This week, one activity that is planned is to make silly sentences using noun phrases. Pink for nouns, green for adjectives and then we'll be moving on to blue cards for verbs! Some children have made keyring fobs with important self-drawn visuals on to help them remember word types. We've practised activities linked to word substitution and thinking of alternative adjectives to describe key nouns. We've also looked at where commas are used to separate adjectives and nouns in a list. Fabulous work everyone! 🤩

We made words using practical equipment and segmented the sounds to spell words. All of our flashcards and worksheets contained a picture of a cake to try and make a pictoral link for the sound. 😊🤩

⭐️⭐️Squashing sounds! ⭐️⭐️
Today we rolled balls of Playdoh to match the number of graphemes in a word and then SQUASHED them whilst segmenting, before blending! Different colours for different versions of the sound
e.g. t-ow-er / s-ou-n-d.
Great fun!😀

Looking for patterns! 🧐👀👀👀👀

Using phoneme frames and highlighters to segment and blend words containing alternative digraphs. Looking for patterns was interesting when we began to make word lists!
