Today we are continuing our work about compound words. You did such a great job at finding the compound words in the picture, we were all so impressed!
Today's activity is to use the pictures to build compound words, with an added challenge to write the compound words you create.

Extra challenge for all groups
Phonics
Today we are learning the 'oy' sound, heard in words like 'boy' and 'toy'.
Challenge:
Someone will read an 'oy' word fly - your child will need to swat the fly words with their swatter before their partner does. If they manage to swat it, they get to keep the fly. If you don't have a printer, you can write the words and make a pretend splatter using a cardboard box.
Blue, Green & Red Pencil Group: Practise today's 'oy' sound.
Yellow & Orange Pencil Group: Practise the 'oi' sound.
SEN: Practise reading 2 letter words.
