Welcome to Year 2

This video explains how Phonics is taught at Great Crosby and the changes that have been made to ensure that children are prepared for the Phonics Screening Check. The PowerPoint version can be downloaded below.  The links mentioned in the video are in this section. Click on the green button to visit our Phonics page. The games websites Phonics Play and ICT Games are in the 'Websites to visit at home' section below.

This video explains the teaching for mastery approach at Great Crosby and includes examples of the representations and language used. There are also examples of children's work and strategies.

As the children missed the year 1 Phonics Screening Check they will be required to take this after the October half term.

Here is a video showing an example of the phonics screening check

  Please watch this video to familiarise yourself with the correct pronunciation of the phonemes and digraphs the children are learning. It is very important that the children use these correctly in their reading sessions to help them segment and blend the words they are attempting to decode. 

Sing along and learn all about numbers with the Numberblocks!  Watch episodes on the CBeebies website and BBC iPlayer. 

Watch as the letters of the alphabet tell stories and make words using phonics. Play the learning game, watch clips and print colouring pages on the CBeebies website. Earlier episodes are available on YouTube.
