Some very good writing occurred first thing all about an event from their holidays. Plenty of chat beforehand from all finding out what everyone had been up to! A really good effort from everyone. The children are working on securing capital letters and full stops in their writing without prompting.
Energetic children in music too, singing and signing as well as listening for long and short sounds and reading notation!
The children did have time to go to the library today and so should have a non fiction and two fiction books in their book bags. From Monday Group Reading books will also be coming home.
Spellings - now your child is in Year Two they will be receiving weekly spellings to learn. They will be handed out on a Friday on a 'Look, cover, write' worksheet to complete at home ready for a spelling test the next Friday. Please encourage practice in different ways, making it fun will help!
The Reading and Home Learning diary has been simplified to make it easier to work with. Please do write in this when your child has read to you at home or to ask any questions regarding their reading as this will be picked up in the Group Reading slot. You will see that the spellings are copied in here as well by your child.
Finally, it was lovely seeing Reading Challenge medals around necks today. Also great to have photos in from our class's summer challenge too. We do plan to make display of these so please send in or email the office to pass onto us if you do not have a printer of any photos you still have at home.
Many thanks,
Mrs Mewett and the Year 2 team
