2 little dickie birds

Hi everyone!

This year's cultural week is about poetry, so we've been practising this little rhyme: 

We've created our own couple of birds to perform it, giving them funny names!

And we've even decorated those two big birds with the help of our families!

Phonics /OO/ /oo/

Hi everyone!

Lately, we've been working on the /oo/ sound. We've learnt that it can be pronounced as: 

- /ʊ/ (a short u): Book, foot, cook, wood... 

- /uː/ (a long u): Spoon, food, moon, broom... 

Those two sounds resemble the singing of a cuckoo, that's why we made our own CUCKOO CLOCKS!

The first sound of this academic year is /qu/

QU is for... QUACK! 

ST. PATRICK'S DAY

Hi everyone!

Lately we've been doing lots of activities related to Saint Patrick's day! 🍀🍀🍀

We worked a little bit on the stories How to catch a leprechaun by Adam Wallace and The night before Saint Patrick's day by Natasha Wing.

We learnt that LEPRECHAUNS love shiny objects ✨ and the colour green so... we decorated some shamrocks and placed them inside a TRAP in order to catch a leprechaun and get his gold! 

We were very happy because it actually worked and the leprechaun left chocolate coins for everyone! 😄

We even became leprechauns ourserlves by making a green hat and a ginger beard!

Finally, we danced to a few songs and one day... we even came dressed in green!
