Optional Extra Learning Activities

Spellings

Here are each groups spellings for this week. Please practise them ready to complete the test on Friday 9.7.21. You can also find these on Satchel One.

Spellings will be slightly different for our final week. The children have been given a statutory spelling list for Years 3 / 4. The list is compiled of words containing the suffixes, prefixes and spelling patterns that the children have learnt this year.

We will not test them on all of the words but 15 chosen at random. Please choose the appropriate list from the teacher groups below.

You may need to pause the videos at various points when you need to complete the tasks. On Fridays there will not be a phonics videos or tasks set. Instead, you should complete your spelling test at this time.

Now that we have revised all of the phases we would like you to practise applying your phonics sounds. In your spellings this week, you may have noticed your words all contain an /oa/ sound. This phoneme can be spelt in many different ways.

Thursday 4.3.21

For your Phonics task today you have a phoneme spotter story. Hidden within the story text there are words that contain the /oa/ sound. This might be spelt oa. oe, o- e, o or ow. Highlight, colour or underline the word if it contains an /oa/ sound.

Extra challenge: Use the table included to sort the words by their grapheme.

Wednesday 3.2.21

3.3.21 Alternative Oa

Tuesday 2.3.21

2.3.21 Alternative Oa

Monday 1.3.21

Let’s begin the week by recapping the phase 3 oa phoneme. We know this one really well.

Sort to oa words into real or nonsense (alien) words by colouring them in separate colours. If you don’t have any pencil crayons or printing at home you can make two lists or just colour in the real words.

Phase 3 /oa/ Sound 1.3.21

Thursday 25.2.21

For your Phonics task today you have a phoneme spotter story. Hidden within the story text there are words that contain the /igh/ sound. This might be spelt igh. ie, i – e, i or y (at the end of a word). Highlight, colour or underline the word if it contains an /igh/ sound.

For an extra challenge: choose 5 different colours and highlight each grapheme a different colour when you spot it in the text. e.g. all words with ‘igh’ in are red but split digraph ‘i-e’ words are blue etc.
