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.
Have a look at these words, read them and decide if they are a one syllable or two syllable word. 
Watch Geraldine the Giraffe learning the ‘ure’ sound.
Have a go at writing some of the words with the ‘ure’ sound that Geraldine says.
You could try putting each word into a sentence, don’t forget your finger spaces and full stops.
If you do not know what a word means, look it up in a dictionary or ask someone in your family to help you.
Now that you have learnt the ‘ure’ sound and had a go at writing it, see if you can read it in this sentence.
Well done Reception! Please remember to comment so I know you have had a go at your phonics today. I love receiving all your comments and pictures.
Good morning Reception. Hope you had a nice weekend.
Enjoy today’s phonics.
Good morning!!
We had a little bit of a hard time with the syllables, we eventually starting clapping and we got all the number of syllables correct.
It was hard for me to explain syllables for me.
Well done, Philippa. It’s a great idea to clap the syllables.
Hello Ms O’Connell,
We had a little bit of a hard time with syllables, once we figure out how to do it by clapping we managed to say which ones are a one syllable or two syllable word.
One Syllable: Time, Hill, Fish, Feel, Golf and Dog
Two Syllables: Hairbrush, Milkshake, Hotdog, Cupcake, Robot and Picnic.
Laughed a lot with Geraldine, she is funny.
Good morning Miss Savage, Ruby- Mae enjoy Geraldine! we find those words : picture, treasure, secure.
Great ‘ure’ words, Ruby Mae.
Hi Phillipa well done for trying so hard with the syllables…keep up the good work.
Hi Reception. Miss Savage is working at the hub school this week so I’m looking forward to reading all your comments and seeing your hard work.
I can identify 1/2 syllable words. The ‘ure’ sound was a bit tricky at first but I managed to think of two related words (pure, manure) with help. I could confidently the short read the sentence above but needed to ask my mum what the word ‘cure’ meant.
Well done, Rosa. The ‘ure’ words can be tricky because we don’t use them so often.
Good afternoon,
I was able to identify the number of syllables.
Geraldine the Giraffe is funny. I like learning with her.

Hello I was able to tell the syllables by clapping at the beginning and
then by hearing them.
Well done, Nicolas.
Mikey enjoyed this. He hopes we find a cure for Coronavirus.
After a few tries, I was able to say how many syllables the words have by sounding them out by syllable. I wrote some sentences with the words cure and pure. I really like Geraldine the Giraffe!
