Important Information

Children’s start times are staggered at the moment (from 8:55 to 9:20) as are finish times (14:45 to 15:10). Your child’s regular and prompt attendance at school is crucial to his/her success. As soon as the children enter the classroom in the morning, children immediately start their learning. If children are not here on time, they miss out on such opportunities.

PE is on a Wednesday afternoon and the children need to come to school wearing their kit. Please ensure that this is appropriate for the weather.                       

1/2H Homework 

PLEASE ensure you read with your child as often as possible. Books will be changed twice a week on Monday and Thursday.

Homework will be added to Google Classroom on a Monday. Please check your emails for login details.

Spelling Tests and Times Tables Challenge will take place on a Friday afternoon. Please help your child to learn their spellings and practice counting in tens. 

Maths and Grammar homework needs to be returned by the following Monday. 
The children will be tested on their Key Instant Recall Facts (KIRFs). This term we are learning doubles within 20 (Year 1) or doubles within 100 (Year 2).

The Curriculum

English

The children have a Guided Reading session every morning in which they read with an adult and have activities related to their book and our topic on the other days. This provides an idea of the things we do during Guided Reading.  

In Literacy this half term we will be exploring recounts including ‘How I Grew a Dinosaur’ and Bing’s Eggy Heads. The children will then write their own recount about growing Eggy Heads.  

We with then be looking at plant based traditional tales such as The Enormous Turnip.
