Week 11, lesson 1 Sound Gangplank activity - Phonics Phase 5, unit 2 - Worksheet

Embark on an engaging phonics adventure with the 'Sound Gangplank' activity, tailored for Week 11, Day 1 of the phonics curriculum. This interactive task is designed to reinforce the learning of children in Phase 5, Unit 2, by combining word recognition with fun imagery. To participate in the activity, children are provided with "planks" that are essentially word cards that need to be cut out. The objective is to correctly match each word with its corresponding image, thereby forming a chain that represents a gangplank, allowing the children to imaginatively "get off the boat". Words such as 'stink', 'tin', and 'silent' are among the planks used in this activity, making it a playful yet educational experience.

This activity not only aids in consolidating the children's understanding of the words but also helps them to visually associate the words with images, enhancing their memory and recall abilities. By creating a physical gangplank with the words, the children are encouraged to engage in hands-on learning, which can be particularly beneficial for kinesthetic learners. The Sound Gangplank activity is a creative way to bring phonics to life, ensuring that the learning process is both enjoyable and effective for young students as they continue to develop their reading and spelling skills.
