The Year 1 team transformed the hall into a reading and phonics festival for the day, complete with bunting, tents, fire pits and lots and lots of books.  The children took part in ‘book tasting’, eating the tropical fruits featured in Handa’s Surprise, as well as a ‘Giant Jam Sandwich’.

Over 40 parents joined in the fun, completing phonics games, making character puppets, taking part in a massive ‘Bear Hunt’, and reading with their children.  We outlined the upcoming phonics screening test and showed parents fun and engaging ways to help their children with their reading at home.
