LC: To spell words with the letter string ‘ough’.
What letter string did we look at last week?
Today we will be creating a poem with words that include 'ough'.
Activity
With your talk partner, write ‘ough’ poem or sentences, using as many of the words with the ‘ough’ letter string as you can.
Make sure it makes sense!
LC: To spell words with 'silent' letters.
A grapheme is a written letter or group of letters that make one sound, for example, in the word doubt ‘bt’ stands for a /t/ sound.
We already know that letters don’t make single sounds and that graphemes represent phonemes, for example, ‘sh’.
In some words there are some more unusual graphemes with letters that are sometimes called ‘silent’ letters.
Can you think of any words you have come across like that?
Activity
1. Complete a mini spelling test of silent letters. In your talk partners try to spell the words correctly on your whiteboards.
2. Compare spellings in small groups.
3. Share with the class, so we can write them together on the board; paying attention to the ‘silent’ letter.
