September Homework
Please note:
Homework folders must be brought into school every day with story book, red phonics book and letter chart inside.
Homework folders have been sent home today Monday 17th September. In them you will find:
- a note explaining homework
- a story book
- your child's red phonics notebook
- a laminated copy of instructions on letter and number formation (please note we are only using small letters)
The procedure for homework in September is as follows:
Your child will receive their Jolly Phonics Sound Book (red notebook) and a story book every Monday.
They will have 2 pieces of homework to complete from the notebook;
revision of letter sounds and reading words from word lists (at back of book) as per the below:
Week 3 (Monday 17th September): sounds – s, a, t, i and word list 1
Week 4 (Monday 24th September): sounds – p, n, ck, e and word list 2
The picture story books are for supervised shared reading. Please encourage your child to tell you what is happening in the pictures and to ‘read’ the story to you. Ask your child questions about the book, for example:
Who is the author?
Who is the illustrator?
Can you predict what might happen from the title/cover/pictures?
How do you think the character felt when...?
Have them reflect on the story by asking questions like 'what was your favourite part?' or ask them to retell the story in their own words or even act out scenes from the story.
Please note the mobile library will visit us every second Thursday so your child’s library book is
due back on Wednesday 26th September.
