The sheets we have been using to learn about the ‘ee’ sound are attached below, just incase you want to ‘brush up’ your skills before you start!

Dandelion Level

Long vowel ee sound

Bee Level

Long vowel ee sound ea

Honey Level

Long vowel ee sound at the end y or ey

Hive Level

We have been learning about the parts of the bee by listening to the Campbell Family, reading for information about bees and to label diagrams with Mr Mutch. By doing this you have been learning to sound out and read and write these words. This level will ask you to spell some of the bee’s body parts.

Queen Bee Gold Level

The parts of any living thing can be called it’s anatomy. Find out more information about the anatomy of a bee on this site. This level will ask you to spell some of these specialist words. Remember your spelling strategies.

  • Break the words into syllables.
  • Look for smaller words within the big words.

Mild Literacy – Reading – Dragon Tea – Illustrator Challenge

Enjoy reading Part 2 of Dragon Tea.

 

Practise recognising those long vowel ‘ee’ sounds and the alternative versions – are you getting better?

Did you notice that there is no illustration for the last page of the story?

I am challenging you to make an illustration using natural materials to help finish the book.

Many of us will be celebrating V.E. Day. You might be having a tea party. Would that give you any ideas?

Please send a photograph of your idea to Ms Rossvoll or Mr Mutch and they will be added to the book!
