OK. Geraldine. Hello Geraldine. Ooh, is that a new jumper you have on? Let's see it. Ooh,
it says, keep calm mum, it's only the diamond jubilee. Ooh, it is nearly the jubilee. How
exciting. Sixty years for Queen Elizabeth on the throne. That is worth celebrating.
Now Geraldine, because it is nearly the jubilee, I thought it would make sense to learn about
the juh sound. Juh, juh, juh. And there it is to your side. To the other side. No, no,
that's it. There, there. There's the juh sound. Juh, juh, juh. Can you have a go of making
that sound? Geraldine, that was a sneeze. Have a go of making the juh sound. No, Geraldine.
Geraldine, come back. Right, after three. One, two, three. Good girl. And remember it's
not a chuh, it's a juh, juh, juh, juh. Well done. Splendid. Now Geraldine, I've noticed
that there is a juh sound at the start of your name. Except it's made with a G. No,
it's made with a soft G. OK, so it's the right sound but it's the wrong spelling in your
name Geraldine. So we'll learn about that in a different video, OK? Is that alright?
Good, OK. Now Geraldine, as you've got your super jumper on, you've already found something
that starts with juh. Show us your jumper again. Ooh, I like it. OK, off you go around
the house to find something that starts with juh. So off she went around the house to find
something beginning with juh. Ooh, Geraldine, you've found some juice. Juice. Mmm, apple
juice. That sounds ever so... Geraldine, can you be a bit more polite please when you're
on camera? What else can you find? Ooh, I can't quite see that Geraldine. You're off
camera there my dear. You're off camera. That's it, that's more like it. You've found
a jug. Good girl. Jug. That starts with a... That starts with a juh as well. What else
can you find? Ooh, it's a nice pot of strawberry jam. Mmm. Jam begins with a juh. And jam is
your favourite isn't it Geraldine? Ooh, how much do you like jam Geraldine? Lots. Good.
What else can you find? Ooh, what's that? Geraldine, I'm going to have to zoom out for
this one. Oh, it's got sleeves. Yes, yes. What else is... Ooh, and there's a collar.
It looks like a jacket. Ooh, is that right Geraldine? It's a jacket. Wow, you are a clever
girl. But try not to nibble the jacket please. Silly girl. Look after it. Can you put it
back where you found it? Geraldine, you're making a real mess. You're going to have to
clean all that up you know. Yes, you are. Come back Geraldine. Right, you're off of
the camera a little bit now Geraldine. That's it. Head up. Nice and tall, nice and proud.
Aha. Can you have one last go of the juh sound? Oh. No, no, no, no. It's a juh, juh, juh.
Don't wipe your nose on the couch. Geraldine, one last go. Off you go. Well done, well done.
Good girl. Shall I give you a little tickle? Shall I give you a little tickle under your
chinny chin chin chin chin. Ah! Geraldine, see you next time.
