Sounds being covered this week.

Hello everyone,

The sounds that we will be covering this week are

Long vowel sounds 'oo' - as in boot. Move head back and forth as if it is the cuckoo in a cuckoo clock. This is the same action for the short vowel 'oo' sound.

'ar' - as in part. Open mouth wide as if at the dentist and say ah.

'or' - as in fork. Put hands on head as if ears on a donkey and say eeyore, eeyore (This action also incorporates the 'ee' sound that the children will already know. 

Short vowel 'oo' - as in look. The action is the same as that of the long vowel 'oo' sound' 

The sounds are becoming increasingly tricky but we are all amazed with how the children are picking them up and using them! Thank you for your continued support in this area! 

Because of the complexity of the new sets of sounds, we are leaving the Friday phonics sessions as more of a recapping session where all the sounds covered in the week are looked at again.
