Explore the relationship between U and I with a video and related activities. First, pupils have some fun with the alphabet and discuss text message language. Next they practice coming up with words that have the same sound a I and U. Finally, they watch and discuss the short film and the poem that is read in the film. For homework, they write their own poems, using the work with the alphabet from earlier in the day as inspiration.
