This week the children have looked at 4 digraphs (2 letters that make one sound)

‘sh’ – When writing it we say – ‘Slither down the snake; down the horse’s head to the hooves and over his back.’

‘ch’ – When writing it we say ‘curl around the caterpillar, then down the horses’ head to the hooves and over his back.’

‘th’ – When writing it we say ‘ ‘Down the  tower, across the tower, then down the horse’s head to the hooves and over his back.’

‘qu’ – When writing it we say ‘ round her head, up past her earrings and down her hair, then down and under, up to the top and draw the puddle.’

This week the children have looked at a new sound each day.

‘v’ – Down a wing, up a wing.’

‘y’ – ‘Down a horn, up a horn and under his head.’

‘w’ – ‘Down, up, down, up.’

‘z’ –  ‘ZIg, zag, zig.’

‘x’ – ‘Down the arm and leg, and repeat the other side.’

Today the children looked at the letter ‘r’.  They practised saying this stretchy sound – rrrrr. We looked at pictures and objects beginning with ‘r’.

When we write the letter we say ‘Down his back and curl over hos arm.’

Today the children in Class 1 looked a the letter ‘h’.   They practised saying this bouncy sound – h-h-h-h.  They looked at pictures and objects that begin with’h’.

When writing the letter we say ‘ Down the head to the hooves and over his back.’
