Subject: English | Class: Playgroup | Series: Leeds

---

Hello, little friends! Welcome to our English lesson. Today we are going to meet a new letter. It is the letter T!

Look at this big red letter. This is big T. And next to it is small t. Big T and small t. Can you say it with me? T!

The letter t makes a sound. It says t, t, t. Tap your tongue behind your top teeth. t, t, t. It sounds like a little clock. Very good!

Now look at the picture. There are green hills, pretty flowers and a big, big tree.

Look at the tree. It has a brown trunk and lots of green leaves. Say tree. Tree! Tree starts with t. t, t, tree.

Who is sitting under the tree? It is a tiger! The tiger is orange with black stripes and a long tail. Say tiger. Tiger! t, t, tiger.

Here are some red tomatoes. One tomato is cut open. Say tomato. Tomato! t, t, tomato.

And who is this, smiling at us? It is a turtle with a red shell! Say turtle. Turtle! t, t, turtle.

Let us say our chant together. Clap with me. t, t, tomato. t, t, tiger. t, t, turtle. Wonderful!

Now listen to this line about the tree. t, t, tree lifts her leafy arms to pray. The branches of the tree are like arms. Stand up and lift your arms up high, just like the tree. Say it with me. t, t, tree lifts her leafy arms to pray. Great job!

Let us say all our t words together. Tomato. Tiger. Turtle. Tree. Super!

Now I have a question for you. How many t's are in the word tomato? Two! How many t's in tiger? One! You are so clever.

Now it is time to trace the letter T. Hold up your finger. Let us draw big T in the air.

Start at the top. Go straight down. Now lift your finger and draw a line across the top. That is big T! It looks like a tree.

Now small t. Start near the top. Go straight down and make a little curve at the bottom. Now draw a little line across. Small t!

Let us do it again, nice and slow. Down, and across. Well done!

When you trace T on your sheet, always start at the red dot. Go slowly and carefully. Take your time.

Let us remember what we learned today. The letter t says t, t, t.

Tomato starts with t. Tiger starts with t. Turtle and tree start with t too.

t, t, tree lifts her leafy arms to pray.

To make big T, we go straight down and then across the top.

You did a super job today, little friends! Keep saying t, t, t. See you next time! Bye-bye!
