In Year 1, students have been learning lots of different phonemes (sounds) and the ways that these phonemes can be represented by graphemes (letters). For example, the phoneme /ee/ (long e sound) can be represented by the graphemes: ee/ea/y/e and the more difficult representations: e_e/ei/ey/ie.

English is complicated! There are 26 letters (graphs) of the alphabet, 44 phonemes and over 100 combinations of letters to make these sounds. We do lots of different activities to learn our phonemes, graphemes and Camera Words. Check us out having phonics fun below with crosswords, fab and fake sorting, puppet shows, find-a-words, quick-tick, roll and spell and whiteboard work.

Bring on Term 2!
