O...o...Olly, Oscar and Olivia Owl!

As you can see, our letter of the week is Oo. It is an important letter because it is a vowel and it has a short  sound...as in orange, and a long sound...as in over. 
Long vowels say their own name. This is important to know as your child becomes a confident reader and begins stretching along words for sounds. Knowing both sounds for the vowels gives them wider choices to help achieve success.
In 4Stars, we watched a Youtube video of The lovely Owl Babies story then made and named our own owls. It was lovely to have Andie with us again, working alongside all her Room 6 friends.
Look below to see what we made.....


Here is the correct letter formation so you can help your child practise and build confidence...

.....and our Number of the week is 0, so here is our rhyme for the correct formation. 
Talk about zero and what it means, it will become a very important number as their knowledge grows!
