Good Morning, Nursery.

Well done for your hard work in Phonics yesterday.

Can you practice hearing and saying the beginning sound from yesterday in these words ?

Today’s Phonics task:  We are focussing on the sound ‘z’. Practice making the ‘z’ action and saying, ‘zzzzzz.’

Here are some words that begin with the ‘z’ sound. Practice saying them like this, ‘zzz zig zag’.

Go on a hunt in your house for more things that begin with a ‘z’ sound.  Practice saying them like this, ‘zzzzz zip’. Good luck-it’s a tricky one to find!

Can you hear and say the beginning sound of the objects that you have found?

Practice writing the letter ‘z’ in the air and on the table with your finger.  You can also write the letter on your laminated card using a whiteboard pen or on paper using pen, crayons, paint or pencil.

I can’t wait to hear about all of the things that you found in your house that begin with the ‘z’ sound.

I know that lots of you are enjoying Geraldine the Giraffe . Here she is learning the ‘zzz’ sound too:https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=O6jgGvZ-3zQ

Love from Miss Siswick

PRINTABLE VERSION:N Phonics Tuesday

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.

  1. Good morning Miss Siswick!
    Z is really difficult. On top of Zip, Zig zag and Zebra, I only found Zoo and Zero.

  2. Hello, we watched G the G a few times and discussed that Z is not in that many words. We made the ZzzzZZ action. Grace wrote lots of Zs (which is not an easy one to write), she and I found these words:
    Zip
    Zebra
    Zoo
    ZigZag
    Zoom
    Then we discussed that ZZ is at the end of the word Buzz!

  3. Hi!
    This one was difficult to Esme. So We had an idea. To spot the words beginning with Z in a book
    She spot: Zambia, Zimbabwe
    Zip – Zoo – Zebra – Zigzag

  4. James drew so many z’s!

  5. Sam loves his zoo made from Duplo, which also has a zero in the number 10 block and he found a zip and a zebra.

    Hello Nursery,

    Finding things beginning with the Z sound was really tricky, so we looked up things on the internet and found

    Zoo
    Zoom
    Zip
    Zebra
    Zig Zag

  16. Joseph & Sophia says:

    We looked around the house today but could only find a Zebra and Zip! We do however enjoy it when Mum takes us to the Zoo.

    You found so many zzzz words today. I couldn’t think of any! Well done, everyone.

    I have just remembered that my best friend was born in Zambia ?? so I should have thought of that one like Esme did!
