Learning

Focus: The /k/ sound spelt -que, e.g. antique.

Read these words with me:

antique

technique

boutique

mosque

plaque

opaque

oblique

physique

Can you identify the common sound in each word?

How is the /k/ sound spelt?

These words are French in origin, just like those with the gue spelling (see Session 1). Like gue, que typically is at the end of a word.

The most common grapheme for the /k/ sound is c (cat, act, music).

Other graphemes include:

- ck (back, pocket)
- ch (school)

Practise

Practise spelling these words:

antique

unique

technique

boutique

mosque

conquer

oblique

physique

Apply two or three words in a sentence, orally and in writing.

Looking Inward First

“What helps people improve—criticism or support?”

Message:
Jesus isn’t saying we should ignore problems. Instead, he teaches that we should first take responsibility for our own behaviour.

When we work on ourselves, we are better able to help others—not by judging, but by supporting.

Key takeaway:
Self-awareness helps us become better friends, classmates, and people.

Reflection:
Think quietly:

What is one thing I could improve about myself?
How can I help someone today without judging them?

Take a deep breath and set a small goal for today.
