1. Download the PowerPoint. Use this to introduce the o grapheme that makes the long O sound. The CEWs go no so have an open long O vowel. Read the words on the PowerPoint. Read the common words that have this grapheme in the PowerPoint. Notice the position of the o grapheme.
2. Watch the ‘Oh Miss Oh No’ video. Polo is a pink monster who is in love with Miss Oh No! Ask the children to make the Miss Oh No (surprised hands in the air) action each time they hear an o word. Can they recall all of the ‘o’ words in the video?
3. Download the activity. Tell the children to imagine that they are Polo. Write a letter to Miss Oh No to tell her what he has sung in the song. Include as many o words as possible.
