Class 2
Hello Class 2, it has been wonderful meeting you all and hearing about your summers. You have all settled into being year ones well and shown me what a brilliant class you will be this year!
Our topic for the Autumn term is Marvellous Creations where we will be looking at great inventors and their inventions as well as creating our own.
In literacy we will be focusing on traditional tales, in particular Jack and the Beanstalk and the Three Little Pigs. I look forward to seeing all your story writing we will be doing. It would support your child's learning by reading other traditional tales at home, perhaps you have one story that will always stick with you or try some of the well known traditional Ladybird tales.
As we are year 1 we will have a phonics screening check later in the year, so it is a main priority in school and at home that your child develops their speech. We will be learning phase 4 and 5 in school. At home please encourage your child to have conversations alongside reading regularly and learning the correct pronunciation of words which all will improve their confidence and ability. I have added a list of high frequency words which I will be asking children to practice at home. Children will receive a reading book which can be kept at home until finished.
In maths we will be looking at Number, starting with place value and moving onto addition and subtraction. Please practice counting, the correct formation of numbers and spelling numbers up to twenty at home.
Our science topic for this Autumn term is everyday materials. We will be looking at how materials are used and their properties. See if your child can recognise the materials common objects at home are made of!
PSHE is a key focus today to ensure happy, positive citizens in your children. To begin with, we are starting with the theme Relationships this also includes how we manage our own emotions. I am pleased to say I have seen some lovely manners in this class already so I have no doubt they will be confident in how to build good relationships in and out of school at the end of this theme.
PE will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays and we ask that children arrive to school in their PE kits. Every child will need a water bottle, coat, indoor and outdoor shoes and wellies. Please make sure these are all clearly labelled to ensure your child returns home with the correct items.
I look forward to the rest of the year,
Miss Billson

As we start our new class in Year 1, we have created some class rules. The children all worked together to decide on what is important for Class 2 to be happy and successful and are encouraged to follow these.

Key dates:
Term starts/Teacher Training Day 23rd August Children return to school 24th August Bank Holiday 30th August Teacher Training Day 15th October Half Term 18th-22nd October End of Term 17th December What should my child be doing at home?In order for your child to improve academically, socially and mentally it is important that work is being done outside of school too. These are just a few things can make a huge difference and don't have to be time consuming.
1. Read with your child. Every child is given a reading book for home, once they have finished the book it can returned to school and exchanged for a new one. Children should be practicing their reading skills and working on fluency. Please try and listen to your child read their book even if it is just a few pages each night. 2. Practice their spellings. Children are set 6 spellings to practice each week. They are expected to practice these at home and will be tested on the following Monday. Children can practise these on spelling shed or an alternative method if they wish such as Look, Cover, Write, Repeat. (Spelling timetable attached below.) 3. Encourage independence. Although your children are only 5/6 years old, it is important to encourage them to do tasks independently such as filling up a water bottle, getting dressed, putting shoes on the correct feet and taking care of their own belongings. 4. Homework. I will set children their homework task every other Friday. This will be due the following Friday. All homework will be based on work completed in those two weeks. Please ensure any work handed in has the child's name on. |
