Wednesday 2nd December

Literacy

Remember to revise your tricky words and phoneme every day.

In class we have been exploring alliteration. This is when a sound is repeated. For example

She sells sea shells on the sea shore.

At home choose at least five objects and use alliteration to describe them. For example, a shoe, shiny shoe.

Then try some tongue twisters. Who can say them the best? Can you and your family come up with your own tongue twisters?

  • I scream, you scream, we all scream, for ice cream!
  • Peter Piper. Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
