Everyone welcome! # Year 1 to Year 2 Transition Day- Phonics Bingo ![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/images/news/IMG_6414.jpeg) 3 July 2025 Today, during their transition day, our current Year 1 children (soon to be Year 2) enjoyed an exciting game of **phonics bingo**. Last year, as they moved from Reception to Year 1, they focused on Phase 2 and some Phase 3 sounds. This year, they confidently tackled all the **Phase 5 sounds**, including alternative graphemes, which they've recently been learning and applying in their writing. It was brilliant to celebrate their progress and test their knowledge of these many sounds! ![](https://st-barnabas-primary-school.schudio.com/images/news/IMG_6414.jpeg) [Year 1](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/year-1) [Phonics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/tag/phonics) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_5195.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-02-year-4-pe-tennis-skills) Previous ### [Year 4 - PE: Tennis Skills](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-02-year-4-pe-tennis-skills) [![](https://files.schudio.com/st-barnabas-primary-school/imagecache/100x100c/news/IMG_6452.jpeg)](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) Next ### [Friday Celebration Worship](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news/2025-07-04-friday-celebration-worship) ### Personal Development - [News](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/news) - [Events](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/events) - [Photo Gallery](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/photo-gallery-category/our-gallery) - [Calendar](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/calendar) - [School Council](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/school-council) - [Attendance](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/attendance) - [Fundraising](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/fundraising) - [Extra Curricular Clubs](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/clubs) - [Little Leaders](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/academy-life/little-leaders) - [Visits and Visitors](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/visits-and-visitors) - [British Values](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/british-values) - [Protected Characteristics](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/protected-characteristics) ##### Location Knowlesly Road Darwen Lancashire BB3 2JA ##### Contact Us 01254 702996 ##### Stay Connected - [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/stbarnabasce/) - [X](https://twitter.com/stbarnabasce) © Copyright 2021–2026 St Barnabas Primary School, A Church of England Academy School & Trust Websites by [ ![Schudio logo](https://www.stbarnabasdarwen.co.uk/img/logo/light.png) ](https://www.schudio.com/)
