Welcome back! It’s good to see everyone after our October break.
This week we are learning the sound /o/.
Here are some activities you can do at home to support what we are learning in class:
- Spot the letter O o on signs and posters when you are out and about.
- Play letter detective and circle or highlight as many <o> as you can find on a page in an old magazine, a newspaper or even an old letter.
- Write all of the letters we have learned so far (s a t p i n m g and o) on several small scraps of paper – one letter on each paper scrap. Make several scraps of paper for each letter but make lots with the letter <o>. Crumble the scraps of paper up and put them into a bowl. Take turns to take a piece of paper out of the bowl and read out the letter. If it’s an <o> you can keep it, if it’s any other letter, say the sound and put it to the side. The winner is the player who managed to collect the most o’s by the time the bowl is empty.
You can also practise <o> with our song.
