This week the children have been phonics detectives by using their magnifying glasses to hunt for different sounds in words. For Home Learning this week, please support your child in reading the text below. They will need to add their sound buttons to the words to support their reading and underline words that have the ‘oo’ sound.
This sound can be represented in the following ways:
oo as in moon
ue as in clue
ew as in drew
The Blue Moon
One day a blue bird looked up and said, “Look the moon is blue!” He flew up to the blue moon but it was too high. The blue bird felt gloomy.
He flew up to the moon one more time, but then a huge wind blew him back down to the ground. The blue bird felt even gloomier.
Then along came a cute little mole who said, “You need to use a balloon to fly up to the moon!”
So the gloomy blue bird went to a shop and got a huge new balloon and flew it all the way to the moon. He took the cute little mole with him. They flew very high and the wind blew but the huge new balloon was good and strong.

The Blue Moon
One day a beautiful blue bird looked up to the sky and said, “Look the moon is blue!” He flew up to the blue moon but it was too high. The blue bird felt gloomy.
He flew up to the moon again, but an enormous gust of wind blew him back down to the ground. The blue bird felt even gloomier.
Then along came a cute little mole who said, “You need to use a hot air balloon to fly up to the moon!”
So the gloomy blue bird bought a huge new hot air balloon and flew it all the way to the moon. The cute little mole travelled with him. They flew very high and the wind blew but the huge new hot air balloon was good and strong.

The Blue Moon
One day a beautiful blue bird looked up to the sky and said, “Look the moon is blue like the sea!” He flew up to the blue moon but it was way too high. The blue bird felt gloomy and incredibly sad.
He flew up to the moon again, but an enormous gust of wind blew him back down to the ground. He fell to the ground like a feather. The blue bird felt even gloomier and began to cry.
Then along came a cute little mole who said, “You need to use a hot air balloon to fly up to the moon!”
So the gloomy blue bird bought a ginormous new hot air balloon and flew it all the way to the moon. The cute little mole was his companion. They flew extremely high and the wind blew but the ginormous hot air balloon was good and strong.
