Hello Everyone!


We’ve been working so much that we forgot to update the blog. We worked super hard the past couple of weeks!


To begin with, we are very proud to tell you that we have completed the JOLLY PHONICS programme (we are going to continue working on the sounds as some of them are a bit tricky). 
To celebrate our achievement we had a party last week. We ate some cake and we gave our amazing students a Jolly Phonics Genius certificate.





The last two sounds we learnt were:
/ar/ as in STAR


and
/er/ as in ROOSTER


We revised clothes vocabulary and we are practising the following structure:

He is wearing…
She is wearing…

We also learnt some new vocabulary and we did a lot of practice on the booklet.

ROOMS OF THE HOUSE



And
FURNITURE




Last but not least, we have started revising for our oral exam so we’ve been working really hard on our speaking. After all, practice makes perfect!


Have a nice week!!!

We are also learning the last sounds from the Jolly Phonics programme Yuppie! We are almost there! These are the ones we learnt last week:

Two more sounds and we are done. Good for us!


We continued revising long vowels:
/ai/  /ie/  /ee/  /oa/
We also had two dictations. We know they are tricky but practice makes perfect!

We had another mock exam on CAN and CAN’T. It was a piece of cake!
