Learning Objective: To read words with alternative pronunciations of graphemes.
Today we are learning that another digraph is breaking the rules! Can you name all of the naughty letters that we have learnt about so far? Check the rest of the phonics posts on here to help you.
Today is all about ‘ch’. We know ‘ch’ in chief, such, chair, chat and lunchbox. Today we learn that it steals other grapheme’s sounds!
In school, ch says c.
In chef, ch says sh.

Before we read anymore of the story, I want you think about what the title of this book might be. Comment below or email me what you think and explain why. Think about what stories you know that are similar to this one.
Listen to the next 3 double pages too.
Have a look at the ‘tell me grid’ that you started last week. Can you add anything to it?

Learning Objective: To combine words to create sentences.
Listen to me read the story from the beginning and an extra page today. Can you follow along with me?
New words:
harvest- gathering crops The farmer harvested the carrots.
lashing-beating The rain was lashing down on the windows
flesh-the part of a fruit or vegetable that we eat I bit into the flesh of the peach.
Lots of things happen on this last page. Which words does the author use to describe what Pattan is doing?
The author manages to fit lots of actions in a short piece of writing by putting two actions (verbs) in one sentence.
Battling the lashing rain, Pattan climbed the mountain.
Cutting a big hole, he dived into its orange flesh.
How does this change the way we read this piece of text?
I think that it makes it more dramatic, like Pattan is rushing and panicking.
Think about a time when you have been in a rush or panicked. What were you doing? Think of two verbs. Use them to write a sentence with two actions in just like Chitra Soundar, the author of this story.
Here is my example.
When I rush I sweat and run.
Have a go at writing 2 or 3 sentences with two action words (verbs) in each.
