Morning Primary 1
I hope you’ve all had a good weekend. I am still missing you. This is our 9th week away from school now! I can’t believe it. I really enjoyed getting an email from NG to hear how she and her family were and to all about what she has been getting up to.
Well done to CT for 20 minutes reading on Epic reading too!
Remember, you can get in touch with me about anything at all via my email:

Main Activity:
-
Copy and complete the sheet below by adding the missing digraphs to the start of each word
-
If you would like to, you can draw a picture to go along with your words
Extra Challenge:
-
Try making up a funny story with as many of the words from the sheet as you can. You don’t need to write the story down – you can just say it out loud. I managed 8 in my story below – can you beat me?
The whale invited the shark, the sheep and the chick over to his house. They were his three best friends. The sheep blew the whistle and the shark got a fright and fell off his chair and broke the whales favourite shell!
