It has been lovely having everyone back in class these past two weeks! We’ve been busy getting everyone settled back into our P2 routine and revising the work that had been produced during the January Lockdown to ensure that everyone has had some experience of the main concepts taught. Elements of these will continue to be revised/taught in the next few weeks.

Once again, thank you for your support whilst we were away from school. Several pupils really have made leaps forward in their learning and self confidence which has been delightful to see back in class. We wish to capitalise on the progress made and would ask that you continue to help support your child by completing the weekly homework activities.

***** Please continue to use the homework jotter that was provided and if you need another, then ensure you email your teacher. *****

Homework tasks have been categorised using a Chilli Challenge format. You should pick ONE of the three challenges in Literacy and Numeracy to complete in your jotter. If pupils would like to complete more than this, that is their choice.

This week, please complete the following:

LITERACY HOMEWORK TASKS

– Bug Club book allocation. (This is vital to ensure your child is practising sounding out and identifying the phonemes being taught in class. This should help improve reading confidence in class too as we have noticed this week that some pupils are unsure on how to decode the texts.)

– Library book. Regularly choose books for enjoyment to read and have read to you by an adult. (These can be your own books or a library book will be provided on a MONDAY to be enjoyed throughout the week. Please ensure it is returned each FRIDAY so it can be quarantined over the weekend before being returned to the school library.)

– New weekly joined phoneme. This week’s joined phoneme is “ue“. Use the activity LOOK, SAY, COVER, WRITE, CHECK to write the following spelling and common words into your jotter.
