Mrs Emslie and Mrs Houghton’s group:

Let’s begin by recapping your phase 3 sounds. Use Flashcards Speed Trials (phonicsplay.co.uk) or go through your sound mat and tick off all the sounds you get correct.  Don’t forget the phase 5 sounds we have learnt so far too – ay, ou, ie, ea oy, ir, ue, aw, ph, wh, ew, oe, au, a-e and e-e.  Write down the score you get and see if you can beat it tomorrow!

Re-cap your high frequency and tricky words using the tricky word trucks.

Today we are going to learn another split digraph - o-e (phone home).  We have also learnt oe (wiggle your toes) and oa (goat in a boat).
