Welcome back!!

I hope you all had a lovely break.

Monday

Writing homework– New writing sheets have been added to children’s writing jotters. This is due for Friday.

Phonics homework– This week we are practicing the ‘oa and ‘ie’ sounds. A worksheet with these words will be sent home- please help your child read these words by sounding them out. These sheets should be kept inside the sounds folder. Please continue to practise previous sounds at home.

Reading homework– new reading books have been handed out today please check reading markers. New key words will be added to your child’s key ring please make sure you practice these words at home so that your child recognises them. It is important that you continue to practice previous key words as well.

Tuesday

P.E. day- please ensure your child has their P.E. kit with them.

Unfortunately the children will not be visiting the school library today so they will be unable to choose a new book, this will be rescheduled for next week.

3.30 – 5.30- Parent drop in session- Come along with your child and let them show you around their classroom and share with you what they have been doing in class. I will be available if you have any questions you wish to ask or issues you wish to discuss.

In the week beginning the 8th February, P2 had immense fun finding out about Chinese New Year and experiencing some of the traditional celebrations. A massive thanks to Wei for coming in and giving the children such a rich learning experience. Safe to say they loved every minute!!
