Good morning everyone,
Today is a new month – it is the 1st June and the first day of SUMMER! We have been so lucky to have had such wonderful weather so far. ☀️
I hope you were delighted to see your family or friends at the weekend whilst socially distancing. I certainly was! 😃
Did you manage to see the launch of NASA SpaceX Falcon 9 on Saturday? I could not believe my eyes, it was amazing! I thought the spacecraft Crew Dragon that was carried by the rocket was incredible. As Bob and Doug sat inside ascending into space, we could see all of the screen displays and controls inside the spacecraft. Then the rocket landed back on a floating drone ship at sea. Wow! 🚀

LOOK: at a small group of words and their letter patterns.
SAY: the words quietly, thinking about the letter patterns.

CHECK: how many you have spelt correctly. If you need to, have another go.

Task – Focus – Record your date, title and I can in your jotter. Write out your words from the key word box using look, say, cover, write, check with a finger space between each word.

B) Make a list of the key words where the ‘ou’ letter pattern makes a different sound.
C) Write a sentence that includes two ‘ou’ words in it.
Main Activity
