This week we have been reading longer words, words ending in -ing and compound words. A compound word is where two or more words combine to form a new word (e.g. lap and top combine to make laptop).

 Spot the digraph(s)

 Say the sounds

 Blend to read

market        looking            zooming        farmyard

finger          marching         winking         rooftop

towel           farming            singing         carpark

cornet         cooking            fighting         popcorn

river            waiting             chatting

wooden       morning

A wooden boat sails down the river.

We are up at night looking at the moon.

The words we have been practising writing are:

river        looking       singing          carpark        towel

finger      waiting       zooming                            fantastic
