Year 1 Pip and Pap Phonics Workshop

Year 1 pupils and parents enjoyed a phonics workshop together yesterday, reading Green Phase Book "The Portrait."

They recapped the grapheme-phoneme correspondences:

/oi/ spelt 'oy', in words such as 'annoying' and 'enjoy'

/ur/ spelt 'ir', in words such as 'blackbird' and 'chirping'

/y+oo/ spelt 'ue', in words such as 'tissue' and 'rescue'

/or/ spelt 'aw', in words such as 'drawing' and 'gawps'

Children read the story to their parents, then answered questions about what they had read.

Pupils and parents then created their own 'portraits' together, aren't they wonderful?

We run Pip and Pap Family workshops every other week at Sinclair in years R-2. Please ask your child's class teacher for more details.
