Welcome to class 2
Hello and welcome to all Year 1 and 2 children, parents and carers in our mixed-age Key Stage 1 class. Our children are encouraged to become confident, inquisitive learners through our broad curriculum which focuses on giving them the skills needed to succeed as they continue their school journey. We work hard to give children a variety of experiences that aims to make children enthused, engaged and excited about their learning.
Homework
Children will receive a weekly spelling list every Monday ready for our 'quiz' on a friday morning. This is further supported with games provided via the Spelling shed website. Children are also encouraged to access Numbots to develop their Maths fluency 3 times per week. Login details can be found at the front of their reading journals. The children also have login details to access Emile Spelling so they can practice their weekly spellings.
Reading
Children will be allocated a weekly e-book. This will be fully decodable and in line with your child's reading ability as well as their work in Guided Reading.
Children will also be sent home with 2 sharing books per week. We encourage the children to be independent in choosing these texts. These books will not be fully decodable and we ask that you read these books alongside them or to them to help promote a love of reading as well as expanding their vocabulary.
We ask that any reading is recorded in your child's reading journal. They should read 4 times a week.
P.E.
PE takes place each Friday morning and kit is a white t-shirt, navy shorts and pumps/trainers. They should come into school in their PE on Friday morning and bring their uniform with them.
If you have any concerns or questions, Mrs Tate is always available for a chat and can also be contacted via the Dojo app.
