Monday 22nd February

Phonics: We are having a recap of the most recent Phase 3 digraphs and trigraphs. Please follow the plan below or revisit the sounds that your child has found difficult.

English: In school we are reading the ' Bertie and the Dragonfly' story (see resource booklet below) and completing a few of the activities in the booklet. Please choose the activities you would like to complete, or follow what I have suggested for each day. If you would rather complete the Oak Academy English lessons or do a mixture of the two, please do.

Read the "Bertie and the Dragonfly" story (page 3-5). Talk to your child about the story, check they understood all the language. Complete the discussion activity on page 5 of the booklet (please scribe for your child if they need help, so that you can recall their answers and prompt them to remember).

Here is an online reading if you would like to use this:
