In Prep/1 King we have been exploring rhyme and what an exciting time it has been! The students have thoroughly enjoyed hearing and noticing rhyming words and have begun creating their own rhymes. As a class we created our own rhyming book which we now proudly display in our classroom. It is filled with wonderfully thought-out rhyming sentences and pictures which the students developed. As a class we have also been noticing word families such as the ‘at’, ‘an’ and ‘in’ family. These word families have helped us hear rhythm and sound patterns in words. We have noticed that we can make many different words by just changing what letter goes before the word family. We have really enjoyed reading and looking at books that have a focus on rhyme too, with some of our favourites being Oi Frog by Kes Gray and Mr. McGee and the Biting Flea by Pamela Allen.
