Spelling and Phonics - Phonics Play Website

Here are some activities that you can do online to polish up on your phonics, if you are able to access it.
Google Phonics Play and then log in. The FREE log in is on their homepage.

Go to Resources and you will see lots of different games.

Select Tricky Trucks. Choose Phase 5 All HFW.
You can change the route, truck and colour and then you need to read the words as quickly as you can.
Ask an adult to click correct or incorrect for you and see how many you can get in the time limit.

Select Buried Treasure. Choose Phase 5.
Choose which sound you would like to practise.
You can choose Revise all Phase 5 if you want a challenge! You need to read the word and decide if it is real (treasure) or an alien word (trash). Drag the word to the correct side.

Select Cheeky Chimps. Choose ow.
Read the word and then drag it to the chimp with the same pronunciation.

Story time

Lots of our Year 2 staff have recorded themselves reading different stories. Why not have a listen. We would love to hear which is your favourite one. If you have a request, email your class teacher and we will see if we can record it for you!
