The phonic that R was learning last week was the long Y sound (the Y with the straight line above it) and since the school work related it to the Y in butterfly we decided to do a lapbook on butterflies. We looked through the boys bookcases and found a couple of books on butterflies and read them. We then painted the butterfly cut out shapes that I found in the art and craft drawers and finally completed the lapbook. Both boys really enjoyed looking at butterflies and said they loved them as they were very colourful and they looked really pretty.
