Good Morning, Nursery.
Well done for all of your hard work in phonics yesterday.
Today, we are going to practice some writing.
Listen to the story of Farmer Duck on the video (can you guess who is reading it?) or read the book if you have it.
Did you like the story? Why?
Here are some of the characters from the story.
Which sound can you hear at the beginning of each word?
Can you point at the beginning letter?
Can you write the beginning letter?
Can you try to copy the whole word?
If you are finding this very easy, you could try to write the letters or the words without copying them.
I am looking forward to seeing your writing about one of my favourite stories today.
Love from Miss Siswick
PRINTABLE VERSION:N Phonics Friday
Good morning Miss Siswick!
I like the story but I don’t understand why the farmer is lazy. I thought he was sick. Can you tell me why?
Thank you
Great writing, Gabriel. I think that the farmer is just a lazy man because he would rather stay in bed and get the duck to do all of the work!
Grace said it’s Miss Siswick reading the story which she liked very much. She felt that the ‘poor duck was very tired’ and she said she liked it ‘when the animals chased the lazy farmer away’.
She recognised the sound at the beginning of each word and also made the actions for the sound. She pointed to the beginning letter and copied the words – some letters like F might need more practice! Then we found her farm sticker book and wrote the words again under the picture stickers :))
It was me, Grace! I am glad that you enjoyed the story. Great writing, well done.
Good morning Miss Siswick,
Thank you for the lovely story. I really enjoyed it! The animals had a plan to catch the lazy farmer and throw him out of bed and they chased him and he never came back ever again. He got fat in bed. The animals were kind to the duck because they helped her do the hard work. The farmer made the duck do all the hard work he wasn’t nice. The duck was happy he didn’t come back ever again. I am going to practice writing the words now.
Good morning, Fiadh. I am glad that you liked the story. it’s one of my favourites.
Lovely writing, Fiadh. I loved the photo of Fluffy! Thank you for sending it to me.
Good morning Miss Siswick
Esme shout is Miss Siswick reading the story
She liked it because it has so many animals, and they are working together
Lovely writing, Esme. It is me! I love it when the animals make their plan and it is ‘Moo. Baa, Cluck’!
Good morning Miss Siswick,
I liked the duck. I liked the story because there were lot of different characters in it and no girls. Who read the story: Miss Siswick!
Greetings from Nicolas
Well done, Nicolas. I am reading the story. The duck, cow, sheep and the hens could all be girls!
Lovely writing, Nicolas.
James did well writing out the main letter sounds in his note book

Good morning,
Adelaide said that it was Miss Siswick reading the story!
She said she loved the story and that the duck was working and he only could say QUACK! But she was laughing because she thought that it was funny how they took the farmer out of the bed!
Lovely writing, Adelaide. I am glad that you found the story funny-I do too!
Philip has a go at writing cow and hens, but he didn’t want to write anymore so he found the letters instead.
Well done, Philip. You wrote some lovely clear letters.

I like the story but I don’t like the farmer because he was lazy and saying all the time how is work .
My favourite part was when the animals kicked the lazy farmer out of the farm.
Well done, Caspian. Lovely writing. I don’t like the lazy farmer either.
Lovely writing, Hermine. Well done.
