This week we
have been learning the sounds ng and ai. Your child has also been working with
an adult to complete a sounds, tricky word and blending assessment. We have
found that some of the children are struggling to retain some of the digraphs –
these can be very tricky to learn! They are best learnt through repetition. Although
your child may be able to recognise the sounds in the sound book it is a
different skill to recognise the digraphs in words, this is something we
practise with the children in phonics sessions.
In maths we have
been problem solving and sharing coins between Chinese money purses and corn
between pigs – as it is year of the pig! The children have been working out how
to share numbers equally and fairly.
We have a tennis
roadshow on Wednesday afternoon where the children will be learning what tennis
is and practising some sports and co-ordination skills.
Thank you very
much to the parents that returned the Tapestry questionnaire. We found that
there were several parents who were unsure about the sorts of things that would
be useful to upload to Tapestry. We have decided that from now on, each week,
we will be adding a suggestion about an observation that you could upload to
Tapestry that will help us to gather evidence about your child. For example, this week, can your child find
things in their home, in the environment, draw things, or make a list of words with
the ng or ai sound in. This will help us to identify if your child is at
the emerging, expected or exceeding level of development.
