FUNNY FACES CAROUSEL

We were exploring the letter'f' today.

One of our 'workbook' activities asked us

to draw a FUNNY FACE in a photo FRAME.

We thought it would be FUN to make a

FANCY FRAME and take photos of us pulling

FUNNY FACES.

Here's the FINISHED slideshow.

NEW LITERACY BLOCK FUN

This week the spotlight was on a new 'LITERACY BLOCK' activity.

Now that we know ALL the vowels and NEARLY all of the consonants, we can have fun being WORD DETECTIVES.

We SEARCH for MISSING letters.

This week we had to think about what sound the words began with, because the letters were MISSING from the

BEGINNING of words.


We were all ACE WORD

DETECTIVES
and we can't wait for our next case of
MISSING LETTERS!

If you have any ideas for our MISSING LETTERS activity, please email them to 1mgems@gmail.com . Our detectives love to have cases to work on!

DOING WORD WALL - WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE?

We do WORD WALL every day in LITERACY BLOCK.

At the beginning of the year, we thought Mrs M was CRAZY as she

showed us how to learn our words by cheering, chanting and actions.
Now we are CRAZY as well. Doing WORD WALL is so much FUN!
Here's what we do.

First we TALK about a word-what are the TRICKY parts. We've learnt that we don't always SEE what we HEAR.... like in the word 'my'- we hear 'i' but we see a 'y'. We call a 'y' like this a GREAT PRETENDER'.

We have to use our BRAIN to remember!
Next we SPELL the word using one of our WORD WALL CHEERS.

Here we are doing 'OPERA'. We sing each letter like opera singers!
Some of our favourites are 'MOVIE STAR KISSES' and 'CHEERLEADER'.

Our BRAIN loves singing and actions!

Last we WRITE the word 3 times, each time using a different colour so we make a RAINBOW WORD. Our BRAIN loves colour!

Then we draw the shape around the word to help our BRAIN remember what the word looks like.

We need this for words like 'my' because what we hear is 'mi'. Can you see why the shape is important?

Then we do it ALL OVER AGAIN for each word!

WATCH OUT FOR OUR POSTS EXPLAINING SOME OF OUR FAVOURITE WORD WALL CHEERS!

BE CREATIVE, 1M. CAN YOU THINK OF SOME NEW CHEERS WE COULD DO?
