Jolly Phonics readers: Books will be changed when your child can read it fluently (Wednesdays and Fridays). Please make sure you have singed the book. As your child advances up the levels, it may take them longer to read a book.
The Wrong Car Words: We have included a pack of these words with a date for each week that we will be covering them. This week we are doing Week 4. We'll be starting the book soon.
Maths: This week there is an activity sheet included, front and back based on addition with three addends. (Write the answer in the hat.)
Dictation: A suggestion would be to do one sentence per evening (complete in your child's dictation copy). Please see this week's dictation sheet with instructions.
The dictation this week is based on 'Magic e' with the vowel 'o'. The children are familiar with 'Magic e' - we've been doing lots of practice over the last few weeks.
Dolch lists 3 and 4: Our whole school plan states that by the end Junior Infants all children should know Dolch lists 1 and 2. By the end of Senior Infants the children should be familiar with all words on Dolch lists 3 and 4. When your child can instantly recognise the Dolch word please tick it off. The Dolch words are high frequency words, the words we read most often. Many are words that the child cannot sound out using phonics so they must be recognised at sight. There are lots of games that you can play to help with this process. You can make falshcards, play Snap or Go Fish with these words. The following websites have lots of ideas which are easy to do.

Jolly Phonics readers: Books will be changed when your child can read it fluently (Wednesdays and Fridays). Please make sure you have singed the reading log. Even if your child has not completed the book please send them in with their reader so I can get the chance to listen to them. Thanks.

Maths: This week there is an activity sheet included, based on addition using the number line. Please make sure the child starts jumping from the biggest number.
Dictation: We are focusing on 'magic e' again this week. It is not necessary to write each sentence on a separate page.
