We are a class of Prep students, sharing all that's happening in our classroom. This blog was started by the first group of Gems, a Year One class back in 2007. We, the 2012 Gems are proud to continue on the conversation. You can read, watch and listen as we share our learning journey - a journey where we 'learn to blog' and 'blog to learn'. Please visit regularly to see what's new and join in the conversation - we'd love for you to be part of our learning.

Yesterday we learnt more about the sound that the letter p makes.
Look at how many words we know that begin with the p sound!

We suggested the word 'phone' but we
could not hear the p sound. Mrs M
told us that ph makes the 'f' sound.


1M can you think of any more words
that start with the p sound?
Look around your home to get
some prompts.

Here are some clues:
What do you lay your head on in bed?

When you ask for something you must

remember to say........

Spaghetti is a type of this.

Send a comment to our blog and tell
us your p words.
