Daily Lesson Plan -- Lesson 5

Letter Ee

Subject: English | Class: Nursery | Series: Skillford


Overview

This lesson introduces the letter "Ee". Learners look at a big picture of an elephant looking at an egg in a nest while an eagle stands on a branch above. They say the sound /e/, name things that begin with "E" (elephant, egg, envelope, engine) and meet the eagle. On the second day they trace and write capital "E" and small "e", write "E" under four pictures and colour the elephant. All talk is oral and playful.

Learning Outcomes (from textbook)

  • Point to 'Ee' and say the sound /e/.
  • Name three things that begin with the sound /e/.
  • Trace and write 'Ee', capital first, then small.

Key Vocabulary

  • elephant
  • egg
  • envelope
  • engine
  • eagle
  • elbow

Speech-Bubble Sentence

  • "The elephant is looking at the eagle's egg."

Day 1: Look and Say (35 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook page 15
  • A picture of an elephant
  • A few real envelopes in a basket
  • Lolly sticks (four for each learner)
  • A tablet or screen for a short clip of a steam engine

Circle Time Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Sit the learners in a circle and sing a hello song together
  • Draw a big "E" in the air with your finger and ask learners to copy you
  • Say the sound /e/ short and sharp, as in egg and elephant
  • Say /e/ /e/ /e/ together three times

Meet the Letter (5 minutes)

  • Open page 15 and point to the big white "E" and the yellow "e"
  • Say: "This is capital E. This is small e." Learners point and repeat
  • Ask: "Which one is big? Which one is small?"

Look and Say (10 minutes)

  • Point to the elephant and say "elephant". Learners repeat
  • Point to the egg in the nest and say "egg". Learners repeat
  • Point to the eagle on the branch and say "eagle". Learners repeat
  • Read the sentence in the red box aloud: "The elephant is looking at the eagle's egg." Learners echo it
  • Point to the two pictures on the left and say each word; learners repeat twice:
    • envelope
    • engine
  • Play "Point to it": say a word, learners point to the right picture in their book

Little Explorers (4 minutes)

  • Hold up a picture of an elephant
  • Learners flap their hands beside their heads for its big ears
  • Then they swing one arm in front of their face for its trunk
  • Say together: "elephant, /e/ /e/ elephant"

Little Innovators (4 minutes)

  • Play a short clip of a steam engine pulling away
  • Ask: "What can you hear?" (the whistle, the chuff-chuff) "What can you see?" (the smoke, the wheels turning)
  • Say together: "engine, /e/ /e/ engine"

Little Builders (4 minutes)

  • Give out four lolly sticks to each learner
  • Show how four sticks make an "E": one stick down and three sticks across
  • Learners build their own "E" on the table and say /e/

Little Thinkers (3 minutes)

  • Put a basket of envelopes on the table
  • Count them out together, one by one
  • Share them equally between two learners: "One for you, one for you"
  • Ask: "Do you both have the same?"

Differentiation

  • Support: Let shy learners point to pictures instead of saying words; say the word with them
  • Extension: Ask confident learners to name three things on the page that begin with /e/ without help

Day 2: Trace and Write (35 minutes)

Materials

  • Textbook pages 15-16
  • Pencils and crayons (grey, pink)
  • Lolly sticks from Day 1

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

  • Show page 15 again. Point and say: elephant, egg, eagle, envelope, engine
  • Say the sentence together: "The elephant is looking at the eagle's egg."
  • Ask learners to touch their elbow and say "elbow, /e/ /e/ elbow"

Finger Tracing (5 minutes)

  • Open page 16 and point to the big outline "E" and "e"
  • Show the stroke for capital "E": start at the top, go straight down, then go back to the top and make three lines across: top, middle, bottom
  • Show the stroke for small "e": start in the middle, go across, then curve up and round like a "c", and stop at the bottom
  • Let learners run a finger along each outline letter

Trace and Write (10 minutes)

  • Hand out pencils and check the grip
  • Follow the Teacher's Note: trace and write "Ee", capital first, then small
  • Row 1: point to the solid "Ee", then trace each dotted "Ee" along the line
  • Row 2: trace the dotted "Ee" letters, capital first, then small
  • Empty line: learners try to write "Ee" on their own, with your hand over their hand if needed
  • Praise every try: "Lovely straight E!"

Write 'E' under Each Picture (7 minutes)

  • Point to each picture and say the word together:
    • elbow
    • elephant
    • egg
    • envelope
  • Ask: "What sound does it start with?" Learners say /e/
  • Learners write a capital "E" on the line under each picture

Little Artists (6 minutes)

  • Colour the elephant at the top of page 16
  • Suggest grey for the body and pink for the inside of the ears
  • As they work, ask: "What is this?" Learners say "elephant"

Wrap-Up (2 minutes)

  • Draw "E" in the air one last time: down, then three across
  • Learners say /e/ and one word that begins with "E"

Differentiation

  • Support: Use a thick crayon for tracing; hold the learner's hand for the first row
  • Extension: Let confident learners write "Ee" on the board with a marker

Teaching Tips (from textbook)

  • Guide learners to trace and write Ee, starting with a capital letter first, followed by a small letter
  • Eagle begins with the letter "E" but says the long sound "ee", not the short /e/. When checking the /e/ sound, use elephant, egg, envelope, engine and elbow
