Jolly Phonics - 'ng' sound

Today the Jolly Phonics sound that one of our groups focused on was 'ng'.

We did some dictation and wrote lots of words that have the 'ng' sound in them.

We are also working hard to form our letters correctly.

Look at all the words we could write!

Jolly Phonics - Ink on inky 'Ii'

One of our Jolly Phonics groups worked on the 'Ii' sound.

We wrote some 3 letter words that had the 'i' sound in the middle.

Do you know that the letter 'i' is a vowel.

The other vowels are a, e, o, u and sometimes y.

There is a vowel in every word. 

Drop, Cover, Hold!

Today we participated in the Shakeout Earthquake Drill.

Drop, Cover, Hold!

Here we are showing how to Drop, Cover and Hold!

Super Holiday Writing!

The children in Room 2 came back to school with lots to share.

They all wrote some amazing stories about their holidays.

Here are some super stories:

In the holidays I went to the beach. We saw some jelly fish and my little sister got stung by a jelly fish and we went too far. The rocks has little rock pools. They felt slippery.

By Emily

When I went to the sports shop we got a fishing line and a net. We used it to catch the rabbit. It was silver. It felt soft. We took it to the vet.

By Ben

In the school holidays I went to the beach. I played in the water. It was freezing and cold. It was very freezing and cold. I splashed and splashed and my clothes were very dirty.

By Corey

In the holidays I went horse riding. I got to brush her. Her name was Gypsy. I got to ride her. In the middle of the walk she wanted to have a drink but the lady made her walk again. She felt hot. She was cute. Her tail was like straw.
