\"\"<\/a>In Letterland, \u2018Robot R\u2019 gets his brothers to help him to steal vowels in words.\u00a0 His brothers are \u2018Arthur Ar\u2019, \u2018Orvil Or\u2019, \u2018Ernest Er\u2019, \u2018Urgent Ur\u2019 and \u2018Irving Ir\u2019.\u00a0 When they stand after a vowel in words they often catch it and put it in their net and report back to \u2018Robot R\u2019 on their radios, saying their second name, \u2018ar\u2019, \u2018or\u2019, \u2018er\u2019, \u2018ur\u2019 or \u2018ir\u2019.\u00a0 The poor vowel is too shocked to speak in the word after that.<\/p>\n

The class set out to find all these robbers that steal vowels in words.\u00a0\u00a0 The children made posters for each of the Robot Robbers to help them look for them.\u00a0 They worked by themselves or with a partner.\u00a0 When they thought of words that had their robot sound in, they wrote them on their poster.\u00a0 They also found extra words in their reading books and around the classroom.\u00a0 Those robbers are certainly very busy with stealing vowels… they found a lot of words! \u00a0 Click ‘read more’ below to see photos of the children busy making their posters and to see all of the words that they have discovered that have these sounds in.<\/p>\n

The children also each wrote a story that included lots of ‘ar’ words.\u00a0 Here is one of them called, ‘The Party Centre’<\/a>.\u00a0 Come and read all their stories.\u00a0 They are hanging up in their Hummingbird classroom.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We learnt that \u2018er\u2019, \u2018ur\u2019 or \u2018ir\u2019 all sound the same when we read them but it\u2019s tricky to know which one to use when you are writing.\u00a0 Look at \u2018Ernest Er\u2019s\u2019 legs.\u00a0 He is very fast so is often at the end of words, like after September, runner, soccer, her <\/em>and summer.<\/em><\/p>\n

So what does Robot R and his brothers want with all the vowels?\u00a0 What do you think?\u00a0 Do vowels next to the letter r always get stolen?\u00a0 Robot R also likes to steal a special consonant too.\u00a0 Do you know which one?<\/p>\n

After all this talk of robbers, it was no surprise to hear that children were playing ‘Robot Robbers’ in the playground at playtime.\u00a0 It was a Letterland version of cops and robbers with some children being the vowels, who were being chased by other children who were robbers!\u00a0\u00a0 Isn’t learning fun!<\/p>\n
