Half term fun

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here are your activities to choose from today ...

Phonics

Practise building and blending your phonics whilst reading. Either use Phonicsplay, teach your monster to read, Oxford owl, you down books at home or by using these ebooks which are free to access goto this link https://connect.collins.co.uk/school/teacherlogin.aspx 

Log in as if you were a teacher and type in username: parents@harpercollins.co.uk then the password: Parents20!

Just like the Oxford Owl you can find the book band colour you are reading and choose those books. Once you have read all the books on your level challenge yourself to read books on the next level and even go back and enjoy looking through the books on the level below. Have fun!
