Good morning, I hope you all had a lovely weekend in the sun.

Homework

There will be no formal spelling homework this week. Instead, I will be quizzing the children’s knowledge of their common words. Once I have quizzed them on the first 100 words, they will be given a sheet home, showing which words they can spell and which they need to work on. This is to give them enough time over the rest of term to practice their tricky words for moving up to primary 3. Some children will have some highlighted words to focus on.

Reading books will be handed out as normal. From now on, children may keep their reading books over the weekend and return them on Monday. This gives them enough time to read their book and to discuss it with someone at home. I have been impressed by the quality of the reading I have been hearing over the last few weeks.

Maths homework will be a continuation of halves and quarters. Children must shade either 1 half or 1 quarter of the given shapes.

News

Parent’s night slips have been handed out. Thank you for returning these promptly. You should receive your day and time next week.

We will continue to have read and munch on Friday afternoons. Please remember that it is a healthy snack that the children can bring for this.

Thanks for all of your support and have a lovely rest of the week.

Miss B
