Good Morning everyone.

I hope you are all happy and ready for another day of home leanring. 

Let me know if you need anything. 

Take Care

9:00 - 9:30 - Phonics - double consonants

Look at the PowerPoint. Can you see the rule for adding vowel suffixes to words ending in VC? This is the double consonant rule. This rule is necessary to ensure the short vowel is maintained. Otherwise, hopping would turn into hoping!

Watch ‘The Suffix Song’ video. Can you remember the rules for adding suffixes at the end of the song? What is the rule for adding the endings ing, ed, er, est and y to words ending in ‘e’ with a consonant before it?

Have a look at the activity. Read the sentences. Add the ending to the root words, so that the sentences make sense.

Feelings: excited, intrigued, curious, surprised, relieved, amazed, thankful, cosy, contented...

Sentence 3 - imagine you are the animals gathered around the fire. You are going to be whispering to each other about what has happened to the crow.
