we had loads of fun creating silly sentences ! Parents also thought it was fun to!

some sheets to send home to encourage communication at home. my children and parents love them last year...children encouraged to share the work at sharing time. or with key worker.

Space is our topic next term. So thinking ahead I have made some Physical Development / Phonics action cards for my Reception children. These will also linking with our Yoga sessions. I am thinking whole class, group work, phonic sessions, send home, laminating so children can select and complete independently once actions known. These can be done as a class session, early morning activities- during phonics and also printed and laminated so once the children know the action they can select a card and complete independently.

A card game to spot the initial sound. all you need to do is print and laminate then add pegs to the phonics table. can they spot the sound. also supports that pincer movement skills to open and close pegs! the only cards which have only 1 sound is "i'' i didn't want to confuse with ice cream icicle as these sounds sent 'i' will be making more- these took a while!! phase 3 sounds (J , v ,w,x, y z and qu, already on this set)

Print out the cards. laminate the caterpillars and the butterflies- cut the butterflies in half. cana the children match the right half to form a word that matches the post it note held by the caterpillar. It could be played like a memory game. The caterpillar cards shared out amongst the players and the butterfly cards face down. of course these can also be used for sand play too!

after a request i have uploaded the alternative flashcards we use in the classroom. includes au, e-e, ue, i (igh) , ea (e) ie , oe, ey, ie as in chief, ce , ph, wh, y (e) (igh) i laminate the sound and the rhyme back to back. at the bottom corner is a clue to the sound it makes. we find it helps especially when you have two ways of making a sound using the same letters!

will you manage to collect the pants before the aliens pops up and pinches them!
