V...v...for vegetables, Vicks, vases, vertices.....and Vehicles!

It's time for V! It doesn't seem like a really significant letter all the way down the alphabet, but as we started collecting words it was surprising how many we could think of. Add to that the fact that it can appear in the middle of words ( e.g. think five, seven, river and even) and you can see how important it is to know the sound for writing and reading!

Unfortunately I forgot to photograph the letter and number formation this week... But have a look at the various vehicles we made yesterday...

Y...y...y...!

Look at our amazing Ys!  Y is our new letter of the week so we sewed yellow yarn onto yellow y's. 

Y can be a tricky letter to master as its sound is often given to u by mistake. This could be something to talk about this week to help your child clarify these letters and sounds.

We have talked about what happens to y at the end of words. Sometimes you hear an 'e' sound- Baby, tricky, sunny, easy..... and sometimes 'i' - try, fly, sky etc. The English language sure is tricky!!

Look below for the formation letter rhyme and our Number of the Week...

M...m...m.is for Mother!

Welcome back to another term! 

Because it is Mother's Day on Sunday, Mm seems like a perfect focus letter for the week! 

Some lucky mums will be receiving a special treat for their special day...handmade by their little cherub.

if that's you...don't look any further if you want to be surprised on Sunday!

Don't they look amazing...even better tomorrow when we add our special writing about our special mum.

Hope you tune in to our blog this term to keep up with our current learning.

See you again soon!
