We hope you had a lovely weekend!

Here are your Phonics and Literacy activities for today.

Attached is a sheet to practise adding the ‘ed’ suffix to the end of a word to make it past tense. You can either print and complete or this is a nice one to simply copy out onto paper. This links to Miss Hailey and Miss McCullagh’s spellings this week. However, this word ending is also an end of Y1 objective so will be perfect for all groups to have a try at.

Activity Sheet Adding -ed

For Literacy, we wanted to have a big focus on handwriting as for many children this has been a target in class. In year 1 we are working hard on our ‘whooshing up’ for our cursive handwriting and beginning to join our letters together. Attached is a powerpoint you may find useful. It shows how to form each letter. Once in slide show mode, click on the letter you want to practise, press on the pencil and he will show you how to form that letter.

Perhaps you can copy a row of each letter from the alphabet? You also had handwriting sheets in your pack.

It would be lovely if you could pick your very favourite poem, nursery rhyme, song or even story and copy it out in your very best cursive handwriting! We cannot wait to see these either posted on the blog or via the year 1 email account: newdale.year1team@taw.org.uk

Have a lovely day.
