Year 2 Parent Phonics Workshop:

Year 2 parents and pupils enjoyed a Pip and Pap Phonics workshop together today, reading Purple Phase Book 20 "The Tournament" together - a perfect book choice to get us into the Wimbledon spirit!

They recapped the graphemes: 

/or/ spelt 'al', 'augh', 'our', 'oor', 'oar', 'ore' 

/ar/ spelt 'al'

/ear/ spelt 'ere'

/air/ spelt 'ere', 'ear' or 'are'

/oo/ spelt 'ui'

/ur/ spelt 'ear' or 'or'

/sh/ spelt 'ssi', 'si', 'ti' or 'ci'.

This book focuses on a tennis tournament - pupils read the story to their parents and answered questions about what they had read. In the story, Ruzz accidentally gets hurt during the match! Pupils and parents talked about how pupils may find themselves in similar situations in sport, or on the playground and what to do. 

They then made their own strawberries together - don't they look fabulous?

We run Pip and Pap Parent and Child Workshops every other week at OLSJ, in years R-2 - all are welcome!
