Reading Books
I would ask that children continue to bring theirbook bags to
school on a daily basis.
Books from the school reading scheme will bechanged weekly on
Tuesdays.
Please continue to listen to your child read on a
daily basis, asking them questions about the book
and their response, before signing the reading
journal.
Talking about the book and reading to your child,
as well as them reading to you really supports
their progress in reading. It helps them develop
an understanding of the organisation of stories,
and of characters and events. It also provides anexcellent
starting point for their writing. We will
also be doing this in school as part of their
literacy units.
Our class novel will be The Twits.

Phonics and SpellingsAgain this year children across KS1 will
be
split up into phonics groups to best suit
their current phonics understanding. This
means that some children will go to
another class every morning for the
phonics lesson and their spellings will be
set by their phonics teacher.
Spelling tests across KS1 will be on
Fridays during the phonics lesson. Thechildrens spelling results
will be noted in
their phonics books.
Literacy In literacy we will be starting with
some poetry before moving onto a narrative
writing unit. In poetry we will be looking at
developing our own ideas. As part of the
narrative unit we will be reading stories
which have familiar settings such as Six
Dinner Sid and On the Way Home. We will
be focusing on writing golden sentences.
We will also be working on adding descriptive
detail to our writing in this unit.Numeracy By the end of Year 2
children are
expected to be able to recall all addition and
subtraction facts for each number to at
least 10, all pairs with totals to 20 and all
pairs of multiples of 10 with totals up to
100. Many children in the class are at
different stages of knowing these facts so
if they are already secure with these then I
will be challenging them with larger
calculations.
I would be very grateful if you could
regularly support your child with learning
all number facts with the total of 10 or
less e.g. 2 + 5, 6 +3, 8 + 2 etc. This is
so important as it provides them with an
excellent and necessary grounding. Their
confidence with these facts will allow
them to make links with larger mental
calculations such as 20 + 50 or 60 + 30
when they are ready for this.
This term we will be covering the topics ofplace value,
addition, subtraction, shape and
money
Topic Amazing People!
This topic will explore different people and
what makes them or made them amazing. We
will be looking at significant people from the
past and present day. We will also explore
how portraits can tell a story about these
people. We will also be considering how we
can stay fit and healthy. We will be using
ICT throughout this topic to do research
and resent work.
PSHCE New BeginningsChildren will be exploring what it is to
belong to a community, considering how to
make people feel welcome and support
others.
R.E. David

David, exploring some of the amazing
things which he did in his life.
