Whatever Next!
This week we have been reading Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy. Click here to watch a video of the story.
Re-watch the story and then discuss the meaning of some of the words in story that you child may not know. What happens at the beginning, middle and end? What characters are in the book? Where was the story set?
CVC words
We have been practising writing CVC words such as 'cat' and 'mug'. Using the sheet attached here - can your child cut out the letters to make words that match the pictures?

READING
Please remember to include your child's reading books and reading diary in their book bag everyday.
Teaching writing and spelling in eyfs
When children are emergent writers we encourage them to use the sounds they know. This can mean that it is difficult to read what they have written, but your child should be able to read it back to you and give meaning to the marks they have made. Encourage your child to listen carefully to hear and write the sounds in words. For example, they may write elephant as et (they hear the initial and end sounds) or they may write elifnt as they are the sounds they can hear. This is perfectly normal and something we encourage in school. We aren’t looking for perfectly spelt writing, we are looking for the children to use their phonic knowledge to attempt to write words. If you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
dough disco
It is important before every handwriting session to allow your child some time to warm up their fingers using a small ball of playdough. They could warm their fingers up to any of their favourite songs or use this video below.
Handwriting
Here are some handwriting videos to support you at home with the letters we have learnt to form already.
