Mrs Martin’s Speech, Language and Communication Group

The following activities are for those children who have been working with Mrs Martin whilst in Year 4.

We have 2 activities to do this week.

Oral Motor Exercises
Here are some oral motor exercises for you to practice
These exercises will make the muscles around your mouth much stronger and help you say your words clearly.
You will need to practice these movements in a mirror.
Do each exercise 3 times and hold that movement for 10 seconds 

Look and Say (A game for the whole family)

The second activity will help you develop your understanding and use of complex vocabulary ‘but not’ statements e.g.  “I like carrots but not peas!”

How to play

1. Taking turns, look at each pair of pictures (see below).
2. Decide which one you like and which one you don’t like.
3. Remember to say “I like?  but not   ? ”.
4. Can you say ‘why’ you don’t like a picture?

Variations
To make it harder, think of things you would like to try and do on holiday and things you will not do on holiday. Again, say “why’ you don’t like it.

E.g.”I would like to swim in the sea but not sail in a boat.”

      Try writing some ‘but not’ statements. I look forward to seeing your work.

      Have fun!
