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 to count in twos, fives and tens (Year 1) or derive and use facts to 100 in multiples of 10 (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 completing a unit based on fantasy stories. We will be reading Milly and the Mermaids and other similar stories. They will be writing their own story at the end of the unit.

We will then be looking at traditional rhymes including skipping rhymes and This is the House that Jack Built.

Have a look at these websites at home to improve spellings, grammar and reading.
