** Parents and adults - please make note of the new section at the bottom of our page - Weekly work archive - We have started to archive our weekly work so that you can look back and revisit different things if needs be. We hope you will find this helpful - P1 teachers.
Literacy
High frequency words:- Please continue to revise all high frequency words in preparation for P2.
There is a list of words you can print out. You can either stick or write these words onto card to make little cards. Here are some games you can play:-
Pick a pair and read the words (even if they don't match)
Can you bring me...
Choose a word and use it in a sentence
Write a sentence using 1 or more of the words.
Put up a word of the day- maybe on your fridge.
We hope you and your child enjoy these fun ways of learning.
Don't forget those tricky words too - here's a couple of
songs to practice them.

Spelling words with 'u' as the middle letter - You might like to begin using magnetic letters (or make little letter cards) to spell cub, dug, hut, pup before you complete the worksheet or if you are unable to print it out. Remember to listen carefully for each sound and find the letter you need.
