You have all been working so hard and should be really pleased with yourselves. Please keep sending emails with updates about how you are getting on and please email (scholesf2@spherefederation.org) any questions you may have about your child’s learning.

Phonics/Literacy (writing focus)
1.Practise your letter formation in your home learning book. You can use the letter formation ditty’s in your pack to help you.
2.Quickwrite! Write the following digraphs.
Parents: Please read the digraphs to your child. They can then write them their home learning book.
For help with pronunciation –please note ‘z’ is American so incorrect for your child. All other pronunciations are correct.

3.Time to talk!
- Dance to the music.
- When the music stops find a partner.
- Talk to your partner about some news you’d like to share.
Remember: to be a good talking partner your eyes should be looking and your ears should be listening AND hearing.
- Now it’s time to write! Practise saying your news in a sentence. Count the words in your sentence. Now write your news in a sentence. Don’t forget to check your writing! You can draw a picture too.
Challenge: Write your news using a narrative e.g. First, then, after that, finally.
Maths
Writing independence
Remember, it is okay for things to be spelt phonetically. It is important your child grows into an independent learner. Encouraging your child to write the words as they sound rather than always spelling correctly is important. It encourages your child to use their own skills – rather than copy from an adult.
It is important you do not let your child simply copy your writing. They need to use their phonics skills to write. Here is an example of a child’s writing in Foundation 2.
