Morning everyone! I hope you are feeling good today 😎. 

There are two American astronauts 👩‍🚀👨‍🚀 being sent up to space later today 🚀. The launch of Falcon9 is happening around 9:30pm – it is quite late but if you are allowed to stay up you can watch it live here: NASA LIVE

If all goes to plan you should be able to see the roc ket from your window. It will pass around the UK about 9:45pm and look like a bright light moving in the sky – can you spot it 🚀?!

Now, here are today’s lessons…

Blending Wednesday 

Today we are going to do some more work on letter blends – sometimes letter blends are called ‘consonant blends’.  

Each letter is said individually, but quickly, so they ‘blend‘ together. 

 

Warm Up:

• Can you read all the letter blends below? Remember to say each sound quickly so they ‘blend’ together! 

• Try and say the letter blends in this video along with Jack Hartman

 

Main Activity:

• Write down the words from the sheet by adding the correct letter blend to the beginning of the word

• If you would like to, you can draw a picture next to your word

Extra Challenge:

• Can you use some of the words above to write a sentence? How many words can you get in your sentence?

• Try writing out the words from the sheet above in capital letters as well as lowercase letters e.g. trunk TRUNK

Game to Support Learning:

• Play this game and fill in the missing blend at the start of the word…. click here to play
