Phonics – wh
Grade 3: English FAL – Thursday, 14 May 2020
Dear grade 3 learners,
Today we are going to learn a new sound. It is the ‘wh’ sound.
This sound can be written at the beginning of a word. You are also going to learn how to write a sentence in the present progressive tense.
Assignments for the day:
1. Read p.1-5 of Robin Hood by using the Power Point. https://youtu.be/tpvVjtrUwEo
2. Learn the ‘wh’ words in your pink Phonics book on page 13 (number 22).
- Read the words by sounding out each letter.
You can open the link to watch the Power Point of the ‘wh sound on YouTube. (It is optional.)
- Write these words down on a piece of paper.
- Ask an adult to give you 10 words to write down as a test.
Afterwards you can mark your test and give yourself a point out of 10.
3. Complete Task 3
Present progressive tense:
The verb gets an ‘ing’ when you write a sentence in the present progressive tense.
(Verb = Tells you what someone or something is doing.)
e.g. catch = I am catching a ball.
run = The man is running around the field.
kick = My friends are kicking a ball.
