Our story for this week is

The 3 Billy Goats Gruff

 

 

Read the story of the 3 Billy Goats Gruff either from a book at home or using the powerpoint attached.  Talk about the pictures and look for words you know as you read it.  What’s your favourite part of the story?  Can you describe the characters?

 Use this week to revise all of your words 

 

• Try making a sentence using some of your words. 
• Practise writing some of them
• If possible, write the words outside using chalk. Call out a word and ask your child to jump onto it. (If this is not possible repeat hide and seek activity from week 2)
• Play a game of skittles. Use empty plastic bottles and stick the tricky words to them. Children use a ball and knock down the skittles recalling the skittles they knock down.
