We took part in lots of different practical activities to help us practice our word building, phonics and High Frequency Words (HFW). We used playdough to build our spellings for this week. We also used bottle caps to build words. This was a great activity to help children develop their phonemic awareness. We also played ‘Kaboom’. This was a game where children took turns to pull a lollipop stick from a pot in the middle of the desk. Each lollipop stick had a HFW written on it. If the child could say the word, they kept the stick. However, some sticks had “KABOOM” written on them. If you pulled out this stick, you lost all your lollipop sticks! The children really enjoyed this activity. Lastly, children played a phonics game to help them revise the sounds we have covered so far this year!
