Good Morning, Nursery.

I hope you had a lovely weekend. Well done for your hard work in  phonics last week.

This week, we are going to be practicing rhyming.

Words that rhyme have different beginning sounds but the rest of the word sounds the same.

Watch this short video to learn more about finding words that rhyme: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=aP3UHE0duCU

Once you have watched it with the sound on, try watching it with the sound off and see if you can say the rhyming words by yourself.

Can you remember the rhyming words from the Big Pig Song that we learned a few weeks ago? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Cs8sh2Jgm9o

Read some rhyming books with a grown up or read some traditional and modern Nursery Rhymes here: http://www.wordsforlife.org.uk/songs

Which rhyming words did you find?

I can’t wait to hear all of the rhyming words that you found today.

Love from Miss Siswick. (I will be teaching at school so I will not be able to respond until  later today.)

It would really help me if you could upload photos  straight to the media file (instructions are here: sharing photos and files) as they get to me more quickly and easily as they don’t have to go via the office and my e-mail. Please can either your child’s name or face (but not both) be visible on any photos. Many thanks.

  9. Eloisa’s favorite rhyming song is from Alphablocks “The Cat Sat on a Mat” where the rat goes rat-a-tat-tat and the bat does that and that and that.

    Eloisa’s favorite rhyming book is “Oi, Frog.” Frogs sit on dogs, lions sit on irons, foxes sit on boxes, lambs sit into jams, and so on. Her brother just suggested “sloths sit on moths.”

  10. Miss Siswick says:

    Great rhyming, Eloisa and Kristian. I love the book ‘Oi Frog’ too.

  11. Here is the link to the Cat on the Mat song from Alphablocks:
