Thank you to all of our parents who came and engaged in our Read, Write, Inc. workshops today and last week. We loved having you in to talk through how we are teaching your children to read and how you can help them at home! We’re looking forward to having you in to see some phonics in action this year!
Thanks again for coming to read, the children love spending time reading their RWI books.
This week it was the children’s time to read to parents…
During todays writing lesson the children were thinking about how Little Red Riding Hood traveled to see her Grandma and what she might have seen during her journey. They used their phonics skills to write the words and used small world figures and blocks to create the cottages. There was lots of great vocabulary during this activity which enabled the children to create brilliant sentences! What a great lesson we’ve had today ✍️
Crew MW took our weekly trip to the library today. We enjoyed the story ‘Banana!’ in the library and then we voted for a story to take back to our classroom to read tomorrow.
Crew MW have been working extra hard during their choosing time this week! We’re using the RWI videos to get in a little bit of extra practice during our choosing time and we are really showing how smart we are getting! Keep up the great work Crew MW!
We have been working extremely hard on our phonics since the start of the year, and so that we are practising as much as we can, we have been using the iPads as additional tuition during our provision time. We have really enjoyed learning with Fred and letting him hear how good we are getting at recognising sounds and getting speedier. Some of us even used the whiteboards on the table to practise our letter formation! We know that the more we practise, the better we will become!
On Wednesday, we celebrated Roald Dahl day by watching clips from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. We talked about what we would have in our own factory. Then, we wrote about Rice Krispy cakes using phonics and to practice our writing skills. 🍫🍫🍫🍫🍫
We’ve been working really hard on our learning to blend steps in phonics this week. We’ve been listening to Fred’s Fred talk, blending the sounds into words and then using our magnetic letters to make the words. Once we’ve made them, we’ve used our ‘Fred talk, read the word’ to sound out and read the words back! We’re all going to be super blenders in no time!
We loved having our reading cafe again this week, it is every Thursday at 3pm.
