Good morning everyone, I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend. 

New things to look at on the internet ... https://literacytrust.org.uk/family-zone/5-8/ have you discovered the Literacy Trust's website yet? It has some great activities on there that you might like to do. For example  'Drawing with Sarah McIntyre'   Learn to draw all sorts of weird and wonderful characters with illustrator and writer Sarah McIntyre! You can find that here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGm_cOd3vXg this link takes you to her channel on Youtube, remember that you must always stay safe on the internet, do not go on any of the links I suggest unless you have an adult with you. 

Are you doing PE with Joe this morning? 

Here are your activities to choose from today ...

Phonics (reading and spelling)

Reception and Year 1 children If you would like to do a page in your phonics workbooks (the ones made by CGP) please do so. 

Don't forget to watch the episodes of Alphablocks on CBeebies to help you learn your sounds too. 

Please try to spend 10 minutes (or more if you would like to) on a phonics activity to keep making your brains bigger and reminding yourself how to read and spell sounds. You can go on https://www.phonicsplay.co.uk or Teach Your Monster To Read https://www.teachyourmonstertoread.com (which is also available as an app).
