Click on Discovery Education and play some videos of  the alternative pronunciations you need more practise on.

 

Then go to phonics play and play some of your favourite games!

Listen to the story so far and then read the next two pages with your parents.

Why was Kanni singing a lullaby?

What lullabies do you know?

Below is a sound clip taken from a film called Life of Pi. It is a song that Pi’s mother sang to him when he was a baby. It is sung in Tamil which is a similar language to the language that the Irula people would have sung.

 

Here are the words in Tamil and English to Pi’s Lullaby.

Can you write your own Lullaby and have a go at singing it?
