Spatial Awareness

This week we are learning about all the different ways to describe how to position something. You can practise this at home by setting the table in the correct position.

 

 

All about time

We are learning all about the different times of the day (morning, afternoon, evening and night time) and how to read a clock in one hour intervals.

Below are some songs you can sing with your child. Copy and paste the tvokids link into internet explorer to play the interactive time game. The children LOVED this!!

Magic e

We are learning about the magic e.

When we add an ‘e’ to the end of a lot of words, especially short vowel sound words, it changes the sound and meaning. It makes the vowel sound long and say its alphabet name:
“a = ay,” “e = ee,” “i = eye,” “o = oh,” ” u – you”
– hat/hate, pet/Pete, rid/ride, cod/code, us/use.

Here is a video of how it works:
