| Numeracy focus: | Focus on:
|
| Reading focus: | Children will take part in a weekly Guided Reading session where they will read a story and answer questions based upon what they have read. There will then be activities throughout the week based upon their Guided Reading book.
Reading books will be changed on a Thursday. Please sign books for our reading certificates. Every 20 reads receive a certificate and extra proud cloud. It is really important that children are reading everyday and understanding what they have read. |
| Writing focus: | We are using the book ‘The Great Big Book of Families’ to produce work on our whole school topic of ‘No Outsiders in our School.’
We are also focusing on traditional and alternative tales looking at the book ‘Little Red.’ Writing objectives will be supported from the Year 2 interim framework objectives. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/576179/2017_ interim_teacher_assessment_frameworks_at_the_end_of_key_stage_1_V2_PDFa.pdf |
| Spelling, grammar, punctuation or phonics focus – | We will be focusing upon different sentence types, apostrophes, commas in a list and using a variety of conjunctions.
Spellings are focused on adding suffixes and tricky words. |
| Topic: | Topic Question: ‘What can I do in Spain?’
We will be learning about the weather in Spain, activities and food, festivals and cultural differences. Topic project homework is on the homework page. |
| Science: | Focus on ‘Living Things and their Habitats.’ |
| PE: | Running skills is Tuesday and Thursday is Dance.
Please make sure that children have PE kits in school all week. |
| What can parents/carers do to help? | Read regularly and sign Reading Records. Asking children questions based upon what they have read. Ensure homework and spellings are completed. |
| Is there any help you need in class? E.g. any items sent in from home/helpers? | Please help your child to complete their homework (sent out on a Wednesday and returned to school on a Monday) and support them in practicing their spellings and times tables |
| Visits planned for this term: | Letter will be going out next week for small visit to a real airplane in West Cheshire College on Wednesday 26th September for £1.50 |
