Homework 20/11/2017

Hi Everyone,

Here is the homework for this week.

1. Tricky Words: which, any, many, more, before - Please practice all of these words during the week.

2. Decodable readers ( See note below)

3. Sound Booklet: Our sound this week is 'or'. Please complete Page 9 in the booklet.

4. Handwriting Copy: Page 9 this week.

Please recite the formation rhymes as the children write the letters.

Please do not go ahead in the written homework.

You can decide how much or little you do on each evening but I would suggest to practice their reading every night.

New Readers

- From now until Christmas the children will be reading short graded books during the week. - The readers range from easy to difficult so don't worry if your child finds a book a little tricky.

- Children will get each reader for 2 or 4 nights depending on if they are finding the book a little tricky.

- Encourage your child to sound out the words they don't know, all words are either tricky words or sound out words.

- Encourage them to read clearly and loudly with good pace.

- If your child is finding the reading too tricky, please let me know.

- If your child is finding the reading very easy then practice their comprehension skills by asking questions about the story - Who? / What? / Why? / Where? / When? / How? / What if? / What do you think?/ What are your predictions? / If you were...? / What do you think happened after the story?

- Any other issues please let me know

Welcome back!

Hi Everyone, welcome back to Term 3, I hope you had a lovely break! I was away with the 6th class children for the last three days in Coláiste Uisce and I was told that my class have already been working hard and are ready for a busy few weeks before we finish for the summer :) Here are some important dates to note for the coming weeks. Next week - Monday 1st & 2nd Of May the school is closed May 8th the school is closed May 9th is our school tour June 2nd & 5th school is closed June 16th Class Assembly The homework has changed slightly in that the phonics and sound out words are being replaced by reading from our Wandsville, class readers. We hope to cover the three readers this term, so that means reading practice every night. It is only one page per night, lots of repetition and learning with the visual help of the pictures so no need to worry. You will have seen on the note that went home...

'a, a, ants on my arm!'

Today we learned all about the sound... Our rhyme for this sound goes like this - 'Curve around, up like a helicopter, bump, back down and kick.' We made sure to check our classroom for things beginning with the 'a' sound so you could have a look around and see if you can spot anything beginning with 'a' outside school! Here is the song for this sound. We have also been practicing our tricky word, 'the', and trying to find it hiding in different places around the classroom!

Hi Everyone, I hope you all had a lovely mid term break! We had a student teacher, Conor, start with us today and he will be teaching the class for four weeks. The children are all very excited!

Once your child gets a new book, please fill in the date they received the book and sign the sheet if you feel your child has completed the book to the best of their ability. When completing this at home, please focus on fluency, pacing, good expression and a good understanding of the book they are reading. As always, if you have any questions about this please ...
