Phonics - Autumn 2022
Phonics in Year 1 is taught every day. This is sometimes a full lesson or part of our English session. 
Weekly spellings are directly linked to the phonics, taught in class.

This page will list the detail of the weekly phonics and show ideas of activities to help you at home.

Week 1
We have been recapping sounds from Phase 3 to ensure that the children still recognise the sounds that they had previously been taught. 
We have been looking at the 'sh' sound in 'sheep', the 'ch' sound in 'chick' and 'ng' sound in 'ring'.

Week 2
We have been completing activites linked to the sounds; 'igh' in 'light', 'oa' in 'boat' and 'oo' in 'moon'. 
Please encourage your child to name any words which have these sounds in them. 

Week 3
We have been focusing on the sounds 'oo' in 'book', 'ar' in 'star' and 'or' in 'horn'. 

Week 4
We have been revisiting the sounds 'ur' in 'purse', 'ow' in 'clown' and 'oi' in 'coin'.

Week 5
We have been completing activities on the sounds 'ear' in 'hear', 'air' in 'chair', 'ure' in 'pure' and 'er' in 'pepper'.

Week 6
We have started to look at phase 4 and learn about adjacenent consonants; for example 'tw' and 'fr'.
