Our story for this week is

The Three Little Pigs

Read the story of The Three Little Pigs either from a book at home, using the  youtube video 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?

Our new words for this week are

in       on

Start by revising all the words you know so far either with your word cards or the Familiar Words Powerpoint (see previous webpage).  Introduce the new words 'in' and 'on'.  Can you put each word into a sentence? Practise writing them on paper/whiteboard or make the words using playdough. 

Games to play-

* Hide all the words around the house and ask your child to find them and say the word.

* Have a password for the day eg todays password is in / on.  Children have to say the password before watching TV, playing their ipad, having a snack etc.

* Play 'Splat the word'.  Place all the cards facing up on the table.  Call out a word and your child has to splat the word using a wooden spoon etc.

New Familiar Word Cards   ***(Print pages 1 & 2 only)***

Included below for you to print is the final set of familiar words we teach in Primary 1. 

You can cut out the words we are teaching each week and add them to your child's word box.  

Only introduce the new words if your child is confident saying most of the words taught so far.

Unable to print? You can make your own on paper or card!

Just make sure you use the same letter formation we have used.

If you need to make this activity a little harder for your child, encourage them to write the sounds rather than use their word cards.
