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.

EXPLORING 'E'

This week we have been investigating the letter 'E'.
We discovered that 'e' can make 2 sounds.

One is a 'short' sound, like we hear at the beginning of 'egg'.

The other is a 'l o n g' sound, like in 'emu'. We hear 'e' saying it's name.

Here are all the 'e' words we thought of or found. We've sorted them by 'short' sound or 'l o n g' sound. Mrs M said it was an EXCELLENT EFFORT!

SHORT 'E':
egg, eggcup, echidna, excellent, edge, extra, empire(we knew this word because of 'Star Wars') effort, electric, elastic, eleven, empty, energy, emperor (we knew this word because of 'Happy Feet'), engine, end, enter, envelope, environment, EFTPOS, eskimo, ever, everyone, everybody, everything, everywhere, exit, EKKA (short for exhibition - our annual show/fair is known as this), expensive, exercise
(we love the 'egg' graphic - we sing "exercising egg, 'e', 'e', 'e'!)
1M, CLICK ON THE 'EXERCISING EGG' TO GO TO THE 'ANIMATED ALPHABET' ON INKLESS TALES. THERE'S AN 'E' WORD HERE WE DIDN'T THINK OF. WHAT IS IT?
These ones were tricky because of the 'l'
elephant, elbow, elf, elevator, else

CLICK ON THE ELEPHANT TO SING A 'SHORT E' SONG.
LONG 'E':
ear, earring, eagle, eel, evening, easy, Easter, eat, even

CLICK ON THE EMU TO SING A 'L O N G E' SONG.

PARENTS, YOU CAN DOWNLOAD AND PRINT OFF 'E' BOOKS FROM 'CARL'S CORNER.
CLICK HERE FOR 'SHORT' E.
CLICK HERE FOR 'L O N G' E.

1M, WHAT ABOUT THESE WORDS?

earth


eye

eight


Be a WORD DETECTIVE.
We don't hear a short 'e' or
l o n g 'e' sound in any of these words.
WHAT DO YOU HEAR 'E' SAYING IN EACH WORD?
CAN YOU FIND ANT OTHER WORDS LIKE THESE?
LEAVE A COMMENT AND TELL US WHAT YOU FOUND!
