Literacy
Today during phonics, the children learnt the new oo sound. We practised reading many words with the oo sound and then we went outside to practise writing words with the oo sound such as moon, pool and food. We also practised writing lots of CVC words.
Today the children used the magnetic letters to identify the initial sounds in the words. The children practised sounding out and reading the CVC words.
This week in phonics, the children have been learning the igh sound. They enjoyed making words with the igh sound using the letters.
During Literacy, the children role played the story of “The Little Red Hen”. We also did a hot seating activity where the children pretended to be characters from the story answering questions that their friends asked them 🐓
