Year 2 Pip and Pap Workshop

Year 2 parents and pupils read Purple Phase Book 19, "The Auction House" today, where they recapped alternative graphemes for sounds we already know.

For example, they looked at how 'ti', 'si', 'ssi' and 'ci' can make the /sh/ sound or /zh/ sound in words such as 'auctioneer', 'special', 'mansion' and 'tension'. 

In the story, Min finds a ring in the board game that she wins at the auction! Pupils and parents read the book together before making their own board game together to play at home. Aren't they fab? We run workshops every other week at Mansel Park Primary School in Years R-2 to support with phonics - please ask at the office for more details.
