In our current ‘Come and See’ topic we have been learning about Gods love for us and how God loves and cares for everyone. We would like the children to draw a heart shape in their book and write how our families show us love and care. For example, helping, protecting, caring etc etc. Children can use their phonic understanding to sound out words such as hug, kiss, love, care.
if this is too difficult, children can write the first and last sound for that spelling, for example hg hug, hp help, and the adult can write the word. If you have not already done so, please can you send in a family photo to add to our summer holiday task of creating a family tree.

This week the children have been assigned spelling groups. The spelling groups have been recorded inside your child’s spelling book. Please practice your weekly spellings in the BACK of the spelling book. Spelling will be a big focus this term so please support your child in learning their weekly spellings. Spelling tests will take place every Friday.

Another big focus this term will be learning to read sight words. Sight words are words that you cannot sound out, the children have to be able to recognise them and read them by sight and memory. Red word sets are on homework page. Please help your child to read the red words, starting with set 1.
