Today we learned the sound ‘l’ in Jolly Phonics. It was very exciting because ‘l’ is the special sound of many of the children in our class. Lori, Lucy MacInnes, Lucy Vallance and Leo all stood up because their names start with L.

We worked with Miss Reid the P4 teacher to complete leaf rubbings today. It was good fun because leaf begins with ‘l’ and we got to practice our fine motor control rubbing the crayon over the leaf.

Tips for Phonics at home:

Try speaking in blends to your child e.g can you pass the m-i-l-k. This will encourage your child to listen for the word the sounds make as they blend together.
