Welcome back after the half term break, I hope it has been restful.

We have a couple of new exciting things happening this term; along with P2, are very lucky to be having a 6 week block of gymnastics, this will be on a Monday afternoon. We will have PE on Monday and Thursday until the Easter holidays.

On Thursdays every class will be having French from our modern languages assistant Margaux. The children have met Margaux and are looking forward to learning French from her.

Reading: We will continue reading as normal, (words, sentences and activities) please check the book bags.

Phonics: We are continuing to learn the consonant blends – homework will be sent home related to this on Mon, Tues, Weds.

I will begin to send home a list of up to 5 words each week. These words are high frequency words that children need to learn to read by sight and to write them. Please help your child to learn to read and write them.

Topic: We will begin a new topic this week – I am sure you will find out about this later in the week!

Welcome back after the February break. Here’s looking forward to the next six weeks of term.

What’s new this term?

  • Gymnastics – P1 and P2 are going to get a block of gymnastics with a specialist every Monday now until Easter so children will need their PE kits every Monday ( and Thursday). Can pupils with long hair make sure they can have this tied back please.
  • French – every class will get a weekly half hour lesson with Margaux, a French language assistant. Children have met Margaux already when she told them a bit about herself and her home in France.
  • New topic – to be revealed later in the week. The electricity topic is finished and the feedback received from the children about this topic was very positive. I plan to share our PowerPoint ‘P2 News’ later on this week.

Homework –

Spelling – List 22 ‘y’ (known as ‘toughy y’ as it pushes ‘shy i’ out of the way)

Reading – continues as normal – check book bags for updates.

Numeracy – On Wednesday I will send home a sheet of ‘add/take 2’  sums to be cut into flashcards and used for ‘quick fire’ recall practice.

That’s all for now…

Thanks for your continued support,

Miss Brunt

Pink – See bookmark

Orange – See bookmark

Green –  See bookmark

*NEW*   Numeracy- Keep going with your Learnits. If there are any people who need new learnits can you write a note and let me know.

Learnits- The Rules…

The children are asked the question on the learnits card on several occasions and if they answer correctly,  within about two seconds, they can have a tick. Once they have ten ticks they can throw the learnit away. Once the envelope is empty they can have some new learnits. You can keep the envelope at home until it needs refilled.

Don’t feel you have to do all of them at once. A few at a time is sufficient.

Thank you to those who managed to make the drop-in last Thursday…the children enjoyed showing you their classroom and looking at their work.

Reading: Children will have a new book and associated key words. They will also be given sentences and another reading activity linked to their book.

Sounds: As we have finished the initial learning of Jolly Phonics sounds we are now starting on consonant blends e.g. br, cr, fr, etc. We will continue to use the jolly phonics and will revise them regularly, please encourage your child to do the same at home.

Topic: This week we are talking about how we learn and what can help us. The children will be learning through stories and discussion and this is something that we will refer back to frequently.

After the half-term we will be starting a new topic called ‘Fairyland’. It is a lovely topic around fairy stories and will be covering a lot of literacy related work through this topic.

Don’t forget the children finish on Friday for a weeks holiday.
