Investigate the spelling rule - i before e except after c but only when it rhymes with 'bee'

Write a list of words that use the digraph ie   (such as: thief, review) - how many can you find; how many different sounds does the digraph make? Can you group them?

Write a list of words where the digraph ei is used after the letter c  (such as: ceiling, receive) where the sound rhymes with 'bee' - can you find any exceptions? Do they rhyme with 'bee'?

List words where the digraph ei follows other consonants  (such as vein, weigh) what sound does the digraph make? Are there any exceptions?

Can you find any other words where the digraph ei  is used?

🌟Mrs Burton's Ongoing Project - Who is your hero?🌟

When I was in primary school I did a project all about my hero. It took me weeks! I learned lots of facts, made a booklet, drew and cut out pictures, and I can still remember facts about Gary Winston Lineker now! So it's your turn, choose someone who you admire, learn all about them, then show what you know in whatever way you want e.g scrapbook, PowerPoint, poster. This should be a project you work on over the next few weeks rather than complete in 1 session.

I spotted this shelter on one of my walks around Brayton Barff this week - there were several of them dotted around. Has anyone else spotted something locally that impressed them enough to take a photograph? Has anyone created something they would like to share? Please email photos to:
