Phonics

This week we have been revising the letters we have learned this term, by singing our sound songs, practising writing them, and making words with them.
This term we have learned the letters s, a, t, p, i, n, d, h, e, m, o, and g.
We have listened to lots of nursery rhymes to help us be able to listen to rhymes which helps us be able to hear the sounds in words.

At home, it would be great if children could listen to more nursery rhymes, and lots can be found here:

If children are able to hear and identify rhymes, it helps them to write their own. We have tried making these rhyming words with magnetic letters:

pat cat rat mat sat hat

pen hen den men ten

tan man pan ran

pot hot dot

It's quite tricky! Primary 1 are a very clever class!
