Over the next couple of weeks we will be getting to know the characters and key words in our reading scheme – Oxford Reading Tree. We will be doing lots of games and activities in class to support this.
The children will begin to get words in their word pot to practise at home. First of all they will get the characters names and then move on to small common words. Please help your child to practise these words so that they can read them independently. After a set of words have been introduced a word wall assessment will be done in class and sent home to practise.
Try matching the words from the pot to the pictures in their reading book or see who can be first to find Kipper etc. As books with words are introduced see if your child can find the matching word in the story.
To begin with your child’s book will have no words. Encourage your child to use the pictures to tell the story and ask lots of questions about what they think people are feeling or saying.
I hope the children will have lots of fun learning to read. If you have any questions please come in and see me.

Please look in their home/school book for activities to support their learning. Play with them and encourage them to build their knowledge and understanding around theses sounds and blends.
The pupils in Primary 2 will take home two books a week. These will be issued on a Monday and then a Thursday. You will find the title of the books for the week at the back of their home/school book.
Please read with your child regularly. Engage in discussions about the book and play word games with them.
I hope the children will continue to have lots of fun learning to read. If you have any questions please come in and see me.
On Monday afternoon our P2 boys and girls had a wonderful afternoon making music with Miss Farmer. They even created their own song and then performed it to the P1s today. It was fantastic!
We have been working on colours, patterns and our fine motor skills in room 2 this week. We have been following patterns, making our own patterns, lacing beads and animals, cutting and gluing. All of which are great activities to do at home too.
