For phonics today, I would like you to start the session by scrolling down to one of the videos below and go through all our super sounds again. Then focus on the ‘th’ sound with Fred. Look at the picture and sound out then blend the words to read them.

To add to the phonics fun (haha) I have made a messy washing up liquid video where you choose a word and then write it whilst sounding the word out. You can easily do this at home and is a good activity for reluctant writers. Push play to watch and write some ‘th’ sounds with me. You could also write some simple words like ‘dog’, ‘mum’, ‘big’.

Now we are going to continue with our pirate story. Have a go at reading the next two pages and seeing what happens. Then have a go at answering the questions below.

Questions:

Which pirate is the bad pirate?
How do you know he is the bad pirate?
What does he say or do that makes him bad?
Did you spot any red words?
Who do you think will win the fight?
