SPAG
This week in Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar we are focussing on writing sentences. In the classroom we teach the children to 'think it, say it, write it and check it'. Below are some dictated sentences which will support the children through this process.
Please find some lined paper, or draw lines on plain paper.
Dictated sentences
- Explain that you're going to say a sentence that they will be writing down.
- Say the whole sentence to your child.
- Say the whole sentence again and encourage your child to say it aloud with you. Repeat this a couple of times to model the 'say it' process. The children could also count the words on their fingers so they can check they have the correct number when they 'check it'.
- Say the sentence aloud again together encouraging them to write each word down using their phonics. Remind them about finger spaces, checking their letters begin in the correct place. If they're unsure of phonics sounds the sound mats are attached below.
- Now 'Check it'. Re-read the sentence together to make sure it has all the words in it. Does it have a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end?
-
Celebrate and repeat the above process with the next sentence.
Please ask your child which phonics group they usually attend in school. Complete the sentences for that phonics group.

Mindfulness
Mindfulness focuses on paying attention to the present moment (thoughts and feelings) as well as the world around you. This can improve mental wellbeing. The link below is a guided mindfulness session aimed at children in order to support relaxation and mental focus.
Shared Reading
Shared reading teaches children the comprehension skills shown below and encourages the children to discuss their understanding of the story as well as the language used by the author.
Read the story to your child and click on the question marks to see the questions linked to each page. This story could be read over a few days, discuss the questions and find the answers within the story. If your child is unsure of the answer show them in the text or explain how you know the answer.
