Class 2 - Miss Billson
Hello Class 2,
I hope you have all had a lovely May half term and look forward to being back at school for the last Summer term. You have all made great progress since the start of the year and we don't have long left so let's continue to work hard and be amazing year ones!
Parents/ Guardians - You will find the class timetable below, please ensure your child wears PE kit on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Each child needs to bring a water bottle, wellies, coat and indoor shoes to school. Please make sure all items belonging to your child are clearly labelled with their name to prevent lost property as many children have similar items.
We will also be having Forest School sessions every Tuesday morning this term which will be a fantastic opportunity for the class. (Please ensure your child has a coat and wellies as this will be outside.)

English
This term we will start by expanding our descriptive skills focusing on The Snail and the Whale by Julia Donaldson. (If you have any other books by this author please bring them to share with the class.) As we get close to the end of the year we will be working on our non fiction writing by creating letters to our teacher for next year. WOW Words - As children continue to grow so does their vocabulary. I would like all children to be focusing on wow words that they hear or find. Children should know the meaning of this word and be able to use it correctly in context, then they can bring their WOW word into class and it will go onto our word wall. Each word brought in by your child will receive 5 house points!!! Phonics Phonics continues to be a priority in year 1. Phonics screening test will take place the first week back and I am sure you will do great so keep practising. Please continue to practise phase 4 and 5 sounds, high frequency words and fluent reading with your child at home. We read in school with children frequently and they should return home with 2 books a week of the appropriate book band for their reading level. Please ensure children read fluently and that you ask the comprehension questions usually found at the end of the book.

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 spellings to practice each week. They are expected to practice these at home and will be expected to use these in their writing. Children should practice these on spelling shed.
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.
