Some extra challenges that we usually complete in our Whole Class Guided Reading sessions:
- Time yourself for 1 minute to see how many words you can read (let me know in our weekly catch-ups or send me a message to let me know your score)
- Identify any vocabulary that you are unsure of and use a dictionary to find the definition. You could create your own sentence using the word to stretch your thinking!


Spellings
This week we are focussing on the spelling rule: The long /a/ vowel sound spelled ’ei.’
See below for the activities that are listed on the timetable above.
You will need to know your Spelling Shed log in details for some of the games. If you can’t quite remember your log in details, send me a message and I will be able to help you 😊
On Friday, give your spellings to someone in your household and ask them to test you on them. Don’t forget to send me your score.
