### Lesson Plan: Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds
**Grade:** Nursery 1
**Topic:** Writing Jolly Phonics Sounds: c/k/ck, e, h, r, m, d
**Duration:** 45 minutes
**Resources Needed:** Flashcards with letters, whiteboard and markers, writing worksheets, crayons, phonics songs, and props or toys starting with the target sounds
**Objectives:**
1. Recognize and pronounce the phonics sounds: c/k/ck, e, h, r, m, d.
2. Identify words that start with these sounds.
3. Practice writing the letters associated with these sounds.
### **Lesson Outline**
**1. Warm-Up Activity (5 minutes)**
- Sing the alphabet song to warm up.
- Introduce each letter sound with a brief visual and auditory prompt. Show a flashcard with the letter and say the sound aloud.
**2. Introduction to Phonics Sounds (10 minutes)**
- Introduce each sound (c/k/ck, e, h, r, m, d) one at a time using flashcards and associated words or pictures.
- For example, ‘c/k/ck’ can be introduced with pictures of ‘cat’, ‘kite’, and ‘duck’.
- Encourage students to repeat the sounds clearly after you.
**3. Writing Practice (15 minutes)**
- Distribute worksheets with large letters for tracing.
- Demonstrate on the whiteboard how to write each letter. Focus on one letter at a time:
- *‘c’ and ‘k’ can be tricky; explain that they often make the same sound.*
- *Explain ‘ck’ as a digraph that appears at the end of short vowel words like ‘duck’.*
- Show the formation of each letter slowly and clearly.
- Allow students to trace and then try writing the letters on their own. Circulate and offer assistance as needed.
**4. Interactive Song and Movement (5 minutes)**
- Play a phonics song that includes the target sounds.
- Encourage students to sing along and perform corresponding actions (e.g., pretending to cut for 'c', flapping arms for 'k' like a kite, quacking for 'ck').
**5. Letter Sound Hunt (5 minutes)**
- Organize a ‘Letter Sound Hunt’ where you place objects or toys around the classroom that start with the key sounds.
- Call out a sound and have students find and bring an object that starts with that sound to the front of the class.
**6. Wrap-Up and Review (5 minutes)**
- Quickly review each letter and its sound with flashcards one more time.
- Praise students for their efforts and highlight some great work they did during the lesson.
- Remind students of the sounds and encourage them to see if they can find more words that start with these sounds at home.
**Assessment:**
- Observe students during the writing activity to ensure they are forming letters correctly.
- Listen to their pronunciation of the sounds during the singing and the sound hunt.
**Homework:**
- Send home a simple worksheet for parents to help students practice writing the letters and finding objects around the house that start with these sounds.
### Notes:
- Be sure to maintain a patient and encouraging atmosphere, as this age group can vary widely in their developmental stages.
- Use positive reinforcement to build confidence and make learning enjoyable.
