Home Learning - 9.2.16

We have been learning consonant sounds ch, sh, and ng in phonics this week. These are hard sounds to learn and the children should practice a number of activities regularly in order for them to be embedded in their mind.

Here are some videos that will help. The kids LOVE Geraldine the Giraffe!

SH
CH
NG

We also learnt qu sound, which, again, is quite tricky!

You can practice some handwriting of these sounds by using shaving foam! The kids have loved handling foam this week and its a fun way to practice letter formation. Please remember that all the letters start from the top.

 Shaving foam can be found in most supermarkets. 

We also made some fans using red paper. This was a great activity for small muscle control. Please feel free to make a fan at home. Your child could bring it to school to show their friends.
