Joanna- This week in phonics we have been learning about the long ee sound.

Emilie- We now know that two letters can make one sound and for the ee sound two e sounds are together.

We have been working on our letter formation skills and showing our understanding of how to join the two letters.

Lucy- The two e sounds join when we write the ee sound.

Joshua- ee is is a stretchy vowel and our lips ‘smile’ when we say this sound.

Lucy- ee + e make different sounds

When we sing the ee song we do not sing ‘or’ as the donkey in the vowel house has a sore throat so can only say ee.

Adam- We have also been learning the oo sound.

Shakti- Two o sounds make the oo sound.

Shay- The o sound and oo sound are different.

Lewis- oo is a long stretchy sound.

Lily- The ghost says the oo sound in the vowel house.

When we write oo we join the 2 o sounds together.

We will continue to practise blending these sounds with other sounds.

This week we had our nativity performance. Miss Boyes thought that we were amazing!

Joshua- I liked being Joseph and saying my lines .My favourite song was The King of All Kings

Adam- My favourite song was Don’t tell Herod.

Shakti- My favourite song was Stargazing.

Khyla- I liked dressing up as an angel.

Shay- Stargazing was my favourite because I liked the actions.

Liam- My favourite song was Heaven on Earth.

Connor- I loved being the first person to speak and introducing the whole show.

Have a lovely weekend from Miss Boyes and Primary 1B!
