Phenomenal Phonics in Year One!

-

 Last week, students completed the Year 1 Phonics Screening Check. To practice, in the weeks leading up to the check, Year 1 students participated in a range of phonics activities and centres to strengthen their phonics understanding! These ranged from board games, pancake flip games, jigsaw games, etc. Students even participated in a scavenger hunt around the school to see how many real vs. alien words they could find! Great work Year One!


"My favourite game is where you have to match the picture to the digraph and then write the word down on the whiteboard!" - Eva


"I like playing the board games. You have to say the word and what digraph you can find in the word before you're allowed to put your counter on it!" - Gershlene


"I like playing the pancake game" - Cairo

"I like the mystery digraph game. The pictures spell a new word!" - Nicole

Today has been another action-packed day here at Bawdsey, with the children up bright and early, full of energy and excitement for what lay ahead. After a hearty hot breakfast to fuel the morning, the first activities kicked off: canoeing and Survivor (a fantastic session of den building and outdoor skills). The children embraced the challenge, showing great teamwork and creativity as they constructed their shelters and took to the water with enthusiasm. Following a tasty lunch, the afternoon brought even more thrills with the giant swing — a definite favourite! There were plenty of cheers (and a few nervous giggles) as each child took their turn. We rounded off the day’s activities with a problem-solving session, where teamwork, communication, and thinking outside the box were the keys to success.
