PE

PE will be on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Please come to school dressed in the correct and appropriate PE kit on these days.

Homework

Please focus on lots of reading practice for now.

I would also recommend downloading White Rose App One-Minute Maths on a device. Start with subitising in a 10 frame, then look at addition - bonds to 10 and then bonds to 20.

I also recommend BBC Bitesize Karate Cats.

More information to follow on homework later this term...

Reading

• All children are expected to read 5 times per week minimum.
• Reading books and reading record books should be in school EVERYDAY in your child's book bag. The number of reads recorded in the record book will be counted on a Monday.
• An adult signature and an optional comment should be recorded after each read. 
• 5 reads signed by an adult each time will earn you a raffle ticket each week! The raffle tickets go into a box and at the end of term one lucky winner will be drawn out who will then go on the bookshop visit to buy a book for their class.
• If you have any questions or concerns about your child's reading or would like some help with how best to support their reading, please speak to the class teacher in the first instance.

SPELLINGS:

Below are the statutory spelling lists for Year 1/2. It is very important that you practise these often!

Spelling list Year 1/2

Term 1

Welcome back everyone! We hope you had a lovely, relaxing break over the summer. We look forward to hearing all about what you got up to!

This term, our writing will be based around 'Jack and the Beanstalk'. Our class reader is 'Fantastic Mr Fox' so we have lots of Roald Dahl books to look forward to!

In Maths, we will be looking at the place value of numbers up to 100. Mrs Hill will be teaching a unit on shape.
