P1 Sound of the Week

27th Apr 2026

This week, our sound of the week is “ar.” The children are learning to recognise, say, and use this sound through a variety of fun, multi-sensory activities. We explore “ar” by listening to words like car, star, and park, practising how the sound is formed, and spotting it in stories and songs. To support different learning styles, we use hands-on play such as sand or foam writing, action-based games, and creative activities like drawing or building objects that include the “ar” sound. This multi-sensory approach helps children engage more deeply, build confidence, and remember the sound in an enjoyable and meaningful way.
