Year 2 Parent and Child Workshop:

Pupils in Year 2 at Sinclair took part in a parent and child workshop today, reading Purple Phase Book 4, "Pest Control!"

As part of the workshop, pupils recapped alternative pronunciations for graphemes we have already met - such as the letter 'a' making an /o/ sound in words like 'wasp' and the letter 'u' making a /y+oo/ sound, in words such as 'uniform'.

In the story, Pip and Pap come across some pests and have to call Bez to come and help. Parents and pupils completed verbal comprehension questions about the story together, before then talking together about what you might do in the event of finding a wasp nest or what to do if you were stung by an insect.

Then, pupils and parents worked together to make their own 'wasps' - these ones aren't pests though, they look very happy and smiley, just like Year 2!
