Before we start, revise all the sounds you know so far.

Say each sound out loud.

Here are the Phase Two sounds and tricky words.

Now revise the phase three sounds and tricky words.

See if you can get from the start to the end by reading all the words including trigraphs (one sound shown by three letters)

Listen to the tricky word song to remind you how to read and write the phase three tricky words.

Now see if you can do the same with these tricky words.

Use the tricky words you know to write answers to these two questions.

    Good sentences Cesar. I know you love dinosaurs, did you know that ferns are prehistoric just like dinosaurs. Here’s a link to some information from the Eden Project that tells you more about prehistoric plants https://www.edenproject.com/learn/for-everyone/a-guide-to-prehistoric-plants

    Good sentences Nico. Can you think of sentences using the words ‘he’ and ‘she’?

  14. Good morning, Ruby-Mae recognizes some of the tricky words but no all. She finds it more easy to recognize the tricky words with the help from the video. She answered question 1 : they are fishing. Question 2: She wasn’t sure with the first image if was paint or pot. He is building blocks, he is painting, she is playing an instrument.

  15. Miss Savage says:

    He is painting, yes. Good work Ruby Mae.
