This week the children have looked at the digraphs ng and nk.  We have revised sh and th.

For ng we say ‘Thing on a string’

For nk we say ‘I think I stink!’

For sh we looked at words that have the sound, we made a very long list:  Ashanti, shepherd, sheep, shark, ship, shoe, shop, shack, shed.

For th :  Thea, thick, thin, moth, mouth, this, that, maths, path, bath, cloth.

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.’
