Hello to the year 1 parents. The children who have been working with Mrs Evans, Miss Taylor and Miss Broadhurst have been doing an amazing job in class and have been working very hard. These are the spellings we will be practising this week.

Phase 4 Phonics Activities Ideas

Happy Tuesday everyone! Thinking back to the blends and words we focused on yesterday can you unscramble the following?

ehpl      (We all need this sometimes)

lofw      (They howl at night time)

kmil      (This is good for teeth and bones)

pelst     (The cat did this when he was tired)

ettx      (I used my phone to send one of these)

Next, can you write a word to match the pictures?

The orange is cut in _ _ _ _.

The _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _  hovers high in the sky.

Autumn leaves can be seen in the month of S_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.

This picture shows the number _ _ _ _ _.

Another resource you can use to build confidence with Phase 4 Phonics is the website Phonics Bloom. Today I have included the link to another fun game called Alien Escape, let’s see if you can manage it and don’t forget to have fun!

Copy and paste the following link to take you directly to the game;

Phase 4 Phonics game ‘Odd and Bob’.

The link below will take you to a Phase 4 phonics game that the children are familiar with from playing at school. This link is to Phase 4, however, the website offers many games for the Phonics Phases 1-6 enabling you to focus on any phases you need a little extra practice on. They are a great resource and the children really do enjoy them.

Phase 4 Phonics

I hope you all had a lovely weekend. Here is a little challenge to help you along with your Phase 4 Phonics. Using the pictures and missing blends given, can you complete the sentences below? Once completed, why not extend the activity by creating your own sentences, writing them in chalk, painting them, or any other method you can think of? Can you think of any other words that contain these blends? Can they be found in any books you have?
