Activities in this teaching pack include a set of cards for support ability levels to identify and group sets of words that include the vowel digraph ir and a worksheet for core and extension ability levels to practise building different words that include the vowel digraph ir and use the words in sentences to describe fruits.

The interactive presentation gets the children to explore how to spell words with the vowel digraph ir that can be used to describe different fruits.

This lesson is part of an English scheme of work to get the children to investigate the use of patterned language in a story from another culture, explore spellings of words with different vowel digraphs and practise punctuating and writing sentences using capital letters and full stops. There are teaching activities for shared learning, differentiated worksheets to support independent learning and interactive presentations to introduce concepts and key skills.
