Hi everyone,

I hope you had a good week.

This week we are focusing on English and Maths again. Remember, the work set out below is just a guideline-do as much or as little as you can. Once the children revise their sight and tricky words and counting they are doing well.

If you have any questions or concerns you can email me at katiedoylestjosephs@gmail.com.

If you would like your child’s artwork, writing, etc. shared on the website feel free to send me a photo.

English:

Writing

• Picture/writing worksheets below. Just like last week talk about the picture, read the sentences and then write your own sentence(s) about the picture.

Parents-encourage your child to try to write the sentence independently. You could write down some key words for them to choose from. Help them to place the letters correctly on the lines-small letters sitting on the bottom line and stretching up to the centre dotted line. Tall letters sitting on the bottom line and stretching up to the top line.
