LC: To spell words with ‘silent’ letters.

Can you remember any words we spelt last week?

Activity 1 - Pyramid Words

In your spelling books write the below spellings (with silent letters) using the pyramid strategy.

rhyme, rhythm, persuade, environment

 

Activity 2 - Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check

In your spelling book write the below spellings (with silent letters) using the look, say, cover, write, check strategy. 

vehicle, muscle, symbol, government, yacht, foreign

Look: first look at the whole word carefully and if there is one part of the word that is difficult, look at that part in more detail.

Say: say the word as you look at it, using different ways of pronouncing it if that will make it more memorable.

Cover: cover the word.

Write: write the word from memory, saying the word as you do so.

Check: Have you got it right? If yes, try writing it again and again! If not, start again – look, say, cover, write, check.

LC: Recognise and respect that there are different kinds of family structures.

 

 

Talk Partners

Look at the below images. 

• What do you notice?

• What makes these families similar?

• What makes them different?

Families may look different, but all families give love, care, and support.

Families can be made up of: parents, carers, step-parents, grandparents, siblings, cousins, or friends who are “like family.”

No one type of family is “better” than another.

Respecting differences helps everyone feel safe and valued.

  

Activity

Let's think about our own families.

Write a description of your family and sketch a picture.

Let's compare them all and see what is similar and what is different.

Although our families are different, we still treat others equally and with respect.
