Over the last few days the children have looked at , listened to and written – ‘b’  ‘f’   ‘e’

When we write ‘b’ we say, ‘Down the laces, then over the toes.’  For ‘f’ we say ‘Down the stem and across the leaf.’  For ‘e’ we say ‘lift off the top and scoop out the egg.’

All the sounds and their actions can be viewed on this powerpoint

Today the children looked at the sound ‘u’ and practised writing it.  When writing ‘u’ we say – ‘ down and under, up to the top and down to draw the puddle.’

We then sang our ‘u’ song and recorded it to show our Mums and Dads.

This week Class 1 have looked at the sounds – g   o   c   k  .  They have practised saying the sounds and writing them.

For ‘g’ we say ‘ Around the girl’s face, down her hair and give her a curl.’

For ‘o’ we ‘All around the orange.’

For ‘c’ we say ‘Curl around the caterpillar.’

For ‘k’ we say ‘Down the kangaroo’s body, up his tail and down his leg.’

The children also practise writing their names on a daily basis, you can support them at home by encouraging your child to paint / chalk / write their names on steamed windows.

Over the last 2 days the children have looked at ‘n’ and ‘p’.

They have practised the sound each letter makes and had a go at writing them.

To write ‘n’ we say ‘Down Nobby and over his net’  and for ‘p’ we say ‘ down his plait and over the pirate’s face.’
