• Remember to use ‘Inference’ when discussing books with an adult. Plus, the adult helping you with your reading can use ‘Guided Reading Questions: Level 1’ / ‘Reading Strategies’ in your Pupil Support Book.

• Revise the following: author, illustrator, front of the book, back of the book, title, blurb, spine. Continue to focus on recognising the difference between a letter, a word and a sentence plus recognising the difference between a line of writing and a sentence. How many capital letters can you find? Can you retell your stories from start to finish in your own words? Continue to read with expression.

• Ask an adult to play 'Farmer Duck' story. Click on this link.  https://youtu.be/Gug6P8l1q6c 
• This links to our new WAU topic on ‘The Farm’. Try to retell the story in your own words. The farmer always asked the question “How goes the work?” and the duck always answered “Quack”. How do you think the duck felt? How did his friends feel? Where do you think the farmer went? 
• The farmer is very lazy. Why are people lazy sometimes? How does this make other people feel? How can we try to stop ourselves from being lazy?

• Look at the illustrations of the farm at the beginning and end of the book. Could you draw your own farm picture in a similar style?

• Try to think up your own sentences about Farmer Duck. Use the word bank below to help you. Remember to start each sentence with a capital letter, use finger spaces between each word and finish with a full stop. Read your sentences to an adult. Give yourself a star and put your thumbs up! Please continue to send your pieces of writing into school. I am so proud of you!

LETTERS, SOUNDS, WORDS AND PICTURES 

• Sing your alphabet.
• On P1 homepage click on Useful Links to access ‘Starfall’ ‘Letter Formation’ / ‘Jolly Phonics’ websites to reinforce ALL letter formation, letter sounds and words from a-z. If you have the ‘Hairy Letters’ app remember to use it too.

This week I’d like you to use your knowledge of sounds and words to complete some different activities. Choose a different day to complete each activity. You do not need to print the pages, just write your words and sentences in your Literacy book.
