User name: jan21 Password: home
This week we have 2 main activities that you can spread out over the week.
Investigating Alternative Spellings: /oa/
Spend 2 or 3 days working on the Phonemes Spotter and Word Sort games.
See if you can find other examples in books.
See if you can put some into sentences.
Spelling Rules - Adding -ing
Firstly, look at the powerpoint in the Home Learning Folder.
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/149knm9VCVEVTwzWMwMeYzOGkF3RP-sOg
It is there as a powerpoint or, if you can’t open this, as a PDF.
Once you have explored the rules, play the Tumbling Tumbleweeds game.
This is on Phonics Play - click on the Resources tab, then Phase 6.
Scroll down and you will see it there. Use the rules you have
learnt to change the base word in the correct way.
