Silent sounds and editing

 Today, we learnt more about silent sounds in words. We listened to Teacher Betty's stories and did some exercises on it too. There was one more word we talked about as well when we were discussing about fish - salmon. Can you remember which letter is silent?

We had our first go at trying a few editing exercises. We came across the collective noun, 'a school of fish' and started talking about when to use 'many fish' and where to use 'many fishes'. We usually use 'fishes' when we are referring to many different types (or species) of fishes. 'fish' could be used to describe many of the same kind.

See you tomorrow, and don't forget to prepare for your spelling!

Sincerely,
Mrs Soh
