9:30 - 10:00 Phonics with Mr Elks

Today we will be exploring the 'oo' (Cool Blue) sound.

I have emailed the Zoom link to parents.

I will be showing the ‘Phonics-oo-powerpoint’ during the Zoom meeting. 

Afterwards, watch the ‘Down at the Zoo’ video and the ‘Alphablocks – The Moon’ video,

I would like the children to practise their blending skills by reading 'oo' nonsense words using the flashcards.

Then, I would like the children to practise their segmenting skills by spelling 'oo' real words

(see powerpoint) which their parent/carer says out loud. 

Extra Challenge:

Write sentences including at least one of the 'oo' real words. Remember to use a capital letter at the beginning and a full stop at the end.
