Christmas CVC writing template
A CVC writing activity that children can complete as part of adult-led learning, a CP enhancement or an end of term assessment.
Differentiated 3 ways to suit varying abilities within your class. At this point in the year it is hugely common to have some children writing initial sounds, some writing full CVC words and some using digraphs.

Weekly Theme: Starting School
Focus Book: The Colour Monster Goes to School*
I know that there is some controversy regarding using the Colour Monster due to the black colour monster being associated with fear. In this version of the Colour Monster, the black colour monster only appears once. There is no reference to black representing fear but the words spooky and scary are used on the same page as the visual of the black colour monster. In our book we have coloured over him in grey paint. In the activities that we set out in class, we have removed the black monster entirely. We have chosen to continue to use this book as the children engage well with it, it approaches the subject of starting school well and promotes good conversations with our young learners.
