Primary 2 Homework Week beginning 1.10.19

Maths week homework was issued last week and will be collected in on Friday. The P2 shape homework has been issued and will be collected in on Monday 7.10.19.  Homework folders should be available in school each day so that children may access their reading books and letters issued be stored safely.

 

Homework tasks this week:

Reading– core reader (reading book);

Spelling– spelling pattern ph– and common words (said, could, her, before)

 

Please encourage your child to:

Say the word   e.g. dolphin

Break it into the sounds e.g. d-o-l-ph-i-n(6 sounds)

Blend it- d..o..l..ph..i..n(stretching out each sound)

Write it (whilst covering the word)

Check it (against the written format)

This will help your child to use their sounds knowledge to learn to spell.

It will help your child’s learning if you tackle one column of spelling on 2 different nights. An active spelling grid is in the front cover of the literacy homework jotter. You should pick one to try on a third night.

There is a spelling dictation on Friday.

Talking-there is no talking task this week but you may wish to ask your child about our special visitors and how they use maths/numeracy in their jobs.

Tuesday- we had a visit from a nurse

Wednesday-we will have a visit from an air traffic controller.

 

Thanks for your support with homework.
