Over the next 2 days we will be learning the alternative spelling patterns for /oa/ sound.

e.g. /oa/ as in soap;  /-ow/ as in grow;  /o/ as in oval or hello;  

Watch the videos below.

Watch and listen to the spelling story in the video below. 

How many long /oa/ words can you hear and see? 

Can you make a list of them?

Can you use some in sentences of your own?  or can you make up your own short story using them?

Complete the /oa/sound alternative spelling pattern sheet 1 

Ask an adult to read the instructions to you (see below and the sheet).

1) underline all the different spellings for /oa/ sound in the word list.

Practise reading all the words in the lists (sound out and blend) to yourself first. Then read them to an adult - tick the ones you read correctly.

2) Underline all the different spellings for /oa/ sound in the passage (text) . Then read the text. 

3) In the last box, write a sentence using a word/words from the lists and draw a picture to go with it (illustrate it). 

Challenge: 

Choose a word from each list and write a sentence for each one.

Remember to use joined/best handwriting, a capital letter at the beginning of your sentence, word spaces and a full stop at the end of your sentence

Who was Edith Cavell?

Today we are going to be learning about another significant (important) person from the past (in history) - Edith Cavell. 

Edith Cavell was born in 1865, about 40 years after Florence Nightingale.

Like Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole, she became a nurse.

She helped soldiers during the 1st World War.  

Watch and read the slide show. (You may need some help from an adult with the reading).

I have also put a link to a BBC video about Edith Cavell.
