I have noticed that there may be some confusion between words that begin with the letter ‘s’ and words that begin with a ‘s’ sound and also between words that begin with the letter ‘a’ and words that begin with an ‘a’ sound.
Words such as snake and sausage begin with the sound ‘s’.
Words such as shell and shower begin with the sound ‘sh’.
Words such as apple and ant begin with the sound ‘a’.
Words such as angel and apron begin with the sound ‘ai’.
Please listen to the group 1 sounds (s a t i p n) again before you go on to today’s task. You can also hear the sounds in the Jolly phonics songs.

Today’s task: Practice making the ‘i i i ‘ action and saying ‘i i i ‘ Go on a hunt in your house for something that begins with an ‘i’ sound. (Remember that words such as ice cream don’t begin with an ‘i’ sound.) saying them like this i i i i ink. Practice writing the letter ‘i’ in the air and on the table with your finger. You can also write the letter on your laminated card using a whiteboard pen or on paper using pen, crayons, paint or pencil.
Please let us know if you can find something in your house that begins with i. It’s a tricky one!
We found a picture of an igloo and an iguana and ink pencil
Well done, Leopold. You found three words beginning with the ‘i’ sound.
I wish my friend Indigo was in my house today!
I bet she wishes she could visit you too, Hermine. Great ‘i’ Word!
Dear Miss Siswick,
We only found ink in mummy‘s pen.
Regards,
Nicolas
Well done, Nicolas. There aren’t many things in my house beginning with ‘i’ either.
we couldn’t find much in our house apart from ink, we also thought of igloo.
James has been practising all of his letters and numbers daily on his laminate card.
Well done, James. Igloo is a great idea for an ‘i’ Word. I’m glad that you’re practicing your writing.
Hello,
I found an image and an Indian restaurant menu.
Well done, Adelaide. I hadn’t thought of ‘Indian restaurant’ as an ‘i’ word. That’s made me want to have a curry tonight!
In my book I found – igloo, insect and ink
Well done, Philip. Insect is a great one to add to our list of ‘i’ words.
Hi Miss Siswick,
We could only find instruments. We have a keyboard, ukulele and tin whistle.
Instrument is another new one to add to our list. Well done, Fiadh.
Well done nursery! I checked the inbox for my email this morning.
Hello Miss Siswick.
We found instrument and internet.
Internet is another new ‘i’ word for our list, Ania. Well done. We are using the internet a lot at the moment!
Hello Miss Siswick,
We thought about two more names starting with I:Isabella and Isadora.
Greetings,
Nicolas
Well done, Nicolas. There’s an Isabella in Sophia’s class.
Caspian found his favourite book Mr Impossible and he realise when his writing with a pen the ink goes on his hand so he added Ink to it .
Caspian keep saying ‘How impossible is that!’.
That’s so funny, Caspian! Impossible is a great new ‘i’ word.
I found a picture of impala among the alphabet stickers on the doors of my closet.
Well done, Eloisa. That’s a very unusual ‘i’ word.
Hello Miss Siswick,
I found Indigo, ink, igloo, important and iguana ?.
Greetings
Well done, Anna. You’re the first one to think of ‘important’.
Wow! Excellent work from all of you.
I have my Windows open Leopold, I feel like I am in an igloo!!
I think we are all missing Indigo too Hermine. I am missing all of you. X
James, your Mum put the word ‘in’ into the sentence without realising!
I am using ink too Nicolas.
I wish I was coming round to your house for tea Adelaide, yummy!
I had an insect in my bath today Philip. I needed your book to find out what it was.
Maybe your family could make up a band and play for us Fiadh.
My Internet didn’t work very well this morning Ania.
The word ‘impossible’ is ‘incredible’ Caspian.
Is an impala like an antelope Eloisa?
Anna ‘important’ is a very important word.
Dear Miss Siswick,
I really enjoyed singing through the Abc songs posted above today.
Love,
Sophia
I’m glad, Sophia. You probably remember them from when you were in the Nursery! Are you helping Nicolas with his phonics?
Good morning Miss Siswick,
Yes, I do ?.
Have a lovely day,
Sophia
Thank you, Sophia. I hope you have a lovely day too.
We managed to find the intercom and irrigation in our home.
Mummy said this was a tough one for the whole family to investigate :))
Well done, Sam. I agree that objects beginning with ‘i’ are very hard to find.
