Mild Challenge:
Have a go at thinking of as many words that you can which have the "ar" sound in. Challenge yourself to write them out. You could draw a picture to go with each one.
Hot Challenge:
Choose at least one "ar" word and have a go at putting it into a sentence. Don't forget the following:
- Capital letter at the start of your sentence
- Finger spaces between words
- Use your phonics (robot arms) to sound out words
- Full stop at the end of the sentence
- Read it through to check that it makes sense
