P1D Weekly Update

Phonics

Carter: we learned the ‘g’ sound. It is an orange sound.

Roma: it was a loud sound. It comes from the back of our mouth.

Luke: we learned the ‘d’ sound.

Anna: it is a dark blue sound.

Luke: it means it is a noisy or loud sound.

Shea: we were using cubes to make words. I made the word ‘gut’.

Carter: Your gut is in your tummy.

Mara: we made ‘d’ for dog. I coloured the dog in dark blue because ‘d’ is a loud sound.

We have been playing this game this week to help us listen carefully for the end sounds in a word:
