Our weekly homework has changed quite a lot for the rest of Term 3. We will explain below how to do everything and of course if there are any questions or issues as always please let us know!
1. Tricky words
We will have 2 tricky words per week. Our tricky words this week are "my" and "so".
2. Oral Language Sheet
We are learning about the Vet in Aistear for the next fortnight. Continue with using the vocabulary and discuss the contents of the sheet with your child.
3. Readers
Readers will continue as normal. Just a reminder to return the books with the signed reading record so we can see which books your child has completed. If a book is not sent back in with a signed reading record we cannot give your child a new reader.
4. Dictation copy
Please continue with the dictation copy. There is a new daily word list (3 words per day) which your child will write in their copy. When completing dictation, you will read one word three times to your child and they should try to write it themselves by recalling their sounds.
Tips for doing dictation:
- Read the word to your child.
- Ask them to sound it out/break it down (eg. Pig; how do we break that down? P-I-G)
- Ask them what the first sound is. What does it look like? Can you write that letter?
- Ask them what the second and third sound is, repeating the questions from the previous step.
- Ask them to read the word they have just written.
- Repeat steps!
5. Planet Maths Workbook
Please complete pages 11 and 12 of the workbook.
Thanks a million guys, on the home stretch now so please keep up the brilliant work until Summer!
