P2 Homework and Events W/B 23.10.17

Welcome back after the October break. Here’s looking forward to the next nine weeks of this new term. It’s going to be packed full of exciting activities and learning opportunities!

Homework info:

Spelling – I will send home a new 6 week spelling grid on Tuesday. The sound focus this week is ck.

Reading – Reading continues as usual. Please send in your child’s book bag daily.

Numeracy – We will continue to work on ‘doubles and halves’ this week. In particular, children should learn 6 + 6,  7 + 7,  8 + 8,  9 + 9 and 10 + 10.

I have set a Sumdog challenge for those who wish to take part. This is called ‘P2 Half and Double Challenge’. The questions this week, focus on odd/even numbers and halves and doubles. I note that some questions ask 7 x 2 or       3 x 2 which is a format we have not formally used yet but I will go over this in class this week.

Class News

  • This week, we will be welcoming Miss Jeffcott, a teaching student , who will be working with us for five weeks.
  • P2 will begin a block of athletics on Wednesday afternoons and so will require PE kit on Wednesdays and Thursdays (PE with Mrs Duncan). We will also endeavour to build up running fitness on non PE days.
  • Topic– We will start a mini topic on Day/Night which links in very well with clocks changing soon. We will learn about reflective clothing and staying safe when it is dark. We will also read ‘The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark’ by Jill Tomlinson and plan activities around this. Not forgetting Halloween and Bonfire Night coming up soon!
  • Halloween Disco ( an evening Parent Council event) Thursday 26th ( I am not entirely sure of times sorry…possibly 18:30 to 19:30 but best double check in school!)

That’s all for now!

Thanks for your support,

Ms S Brunt
