Stars of the Week: Amelia and Theodore
Amelia and Theodore were super starts this week. When completing our blending and segmenting activity with Sound Shark, they were able to listen carefully to the sounds that he said, and then blend them altogether to figure out the word. This is a tricky skill to master but Amelia and Theodore have done a brilliant job! Well Done!
It was another busy week this week in Nursery with lots of measuring happening in Maths, and using the correct vocabulary like longer, shorter, taller and tallest.
In Phonics and English this week, we have been using Sound Shark to help us with our blending and segmenting. Sound Shark only speaks in sounds – he doesn’t say whole words, so we have to blend the sounds that he says together to help us figure out which word he says. For example, instead of saying ‘cat’ he would say c/a/t. And he would not say ‘box’ he would say b/o/x. We are always practicing our oral blending and segmenting in Nursery as it is an important step on our Reading journey.
Here are some pictures of us working with Sound Shark.
Next Week: In our last week of Spring Term we will be having an Easter Egg…stravaganza! In RE we will continue to look at the Easter Story and thinking about the symbols of Easter. Our literacy and maths, will also be Easter themed, going on an egg hunt and Easter crafting. Miss Bailey and Miss Godsell will be meeting with parents over the phone for Parent’s Evening on Wednesday.
