We are continuing to use the blog to practise the sounds we are finding particularly tricky in our reading and writing.
This week we have special friends 'ng' and 'nk'... Special friends are two letters that make one sound.
Click the links to watch the videos and practise sounds, 'ng' and 'nk'.
We are also trying to embed our red words, spotting them in our ditty books and applying them to write simple sentences. Red words are tricky words, that often appear in texts, they usually can't be sounded out and having 'tricky letters' in them.
Watch this video, Rosie will help you to remember tricky words 'the' and 'no'.
Our F1 children are doing a brilliant job at 'Fred Talk' games in Nursery... Pushing sounds together when they have been segmented. Watch this this 'Fred Says...' video or play your own Fred talk game at home.
