Phonics

This week we have been learning about prefixes. 

Prefixes are a group of letters that change the meaning of a word when they are added to the start. Most prefixes mean a similar thing when they're added to different words.

1. un usually means not. For example, unhappy, unlocked, unfair
2. dis and mis usually have negative meanings. For example, disagree, disobey, misbehave, mislead
3. re usually means again or back. For example, redo, reappear, redecorate
4. sub usually means under. For example, subheading or submarine

English

This week the children have been planning and writing their own story using a similar plot to the Tadpole's Promise. They have created their own characters, thought of suitable settings and then been writing the story using their story maps. Later in the week the children will be editing their stories to use more ambitious vocabulary, checking for punctuation and spelling in their purple books. Here is the story being read if you want to have a listen at home... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKMl-a3-uNY
