This week we will be coming to the end of our revision of phase 4 sounds and common exception words. We will be starting phase 5 sounds and common exception words at the start of Term2. Our focus this week will be to continue to read words with contractions. For example didn’t, I’ll. 

Writing
This week we will  continue to understand what makes a good sentence. Children will start editing and correcting sentences to show their understanding of full stops to mark the end of a sentence. They will also identify nouns and adjectives.
