Today your focus sound is aw (yawn at down). On your sound chart that was sent home look at the sound aw and together say aw - yawn at dawn. Then point to around 10 other sounds randomly on the sound card to keep other sounds fresh in the your child's mind. On paper write down the words yawn, dawn, draw and straw.

Now time for some spelling. Hide your focus words from today. Say the word draw. Ask your child to say draw and pinch the sounds. Then write the word. Repeat this with the other focus words.

Today, we are learning to find half of a shape. Open the document below called 'Finding half - teaching pages'. Talk through the slides with your child. Find some things around the house you can fold/cut in half e.g. a tea towel, piece of paper, an apple. Ensure your child understands half is one of 2 equal parts. Print off the document 'Monday - Cutting shapes in half'. Fold or cut the shapes in half. Ensure the two halves are equal when folding or cutting. Then complete the document attached called 'Monday - finding half of a shape'.
