News writing 6.1.21
A brief introduction to our weekly news writing session.
In class we would have alphabet charts and word cards for children to use if they are ready for them. so if you have them at home please let your child use them.
As you can see from the introduction we always allow the children to give us the letters, even if they are not quite right. Once we have a word we go back over it explaining any mistakes.
As many of your children are still in the very early stages of writing they will ask for you to spell the words for them. Please do not be tempted as the children are learning that making mistakes is the way we learn and it is by making mistakes that we learn. As those of you who joined in the session this morning saw, we always praise the children and never tell them they are wrong or cannot do it. Although a tricky session, we also want them to enjoy writing.So good luck and don't forget to upload it to our learning platform afterwards.
If a writing a sentence is proving too much, them ask them to just write one word. This could be the name of the object they have talked about, their pet or a friends name. If your child can only identify the initial phoneme in words, this is also OK. Once they have read back what they have written you can scribe it underneath and point out the correct letters they have and any they missed out.
We look forward to reading them later.

Spelling session . Friday 8.1.21
At this time of year we normally start to ask children to have a go at writing key words so we can see which ones they need to work on. As some of you already know we do send 3 spellings home for them to begin learning. Although during the autumn term we do not test them in class, this term although we don't call it a test, as it is very informal we would ask those children who have been having spellings to show us what they know.
Please remember grown ups that we are asking the children to complete this unaided. In class we would have no alphabet charts or adult support except for reassuring them that whatever they write is good.
The video explains more.
Please have a go, even if you don't manage all of the words and upload it to Seesaw.

For this task you will need your writing book, alphabet chart pens and pencils.
Remember how we write in class? If you are unsure follow these simple instructions:
- Decide what you would like to write about. It can be anything you like.
- Say each word to yourself,listen carefully to what you hear and write down the letters you think you need:
- Remember you might not hear all of the letters, just write what you can hear
- If you can only hear the initial (first) letter, then that is OK.
- Try to hear more than one, there maybe digraphs, trigraphs and split digraphs. Have a go but remember you may not identify the correct letters needed just yet. But that is OK.
- Once you have written your sentence then read it back to yourself to check you are happy with it.
- Draw a picture to match the writing.
- Don't forget to ask your grown up to scribe after you have written so your teachers understand.
If you want more help, take a look at the news writing sessions we have recorded before, and have a go at spelling the words on there as a practise.
