Summer Term 2023

It's hard to believe we are into the final term of the school year. This is a busy term and we have lots of fun activities planned. I am busy planning our next school trip so please look out for this letter coming home shortly. 

As the weather is getting warmer it's important your child has a water bottle with them every day and a sun hat and sun cream when needed.

Thankyou for your dedication to homework tasks it is very much appreciated. Please continue to check the website and your child's school bag each Friday for any extra homework tasks. 

I have uploaded the Summer Curriculum overview for you to discuss your child's learning with them. 

Spelling overviews are uploaded and will also be sent home. 

                                           Spring Term 2023

Welcome back! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas. We are now back in full swing of our new topic. I have sent a paper copy of the spelling overview home and I will upload it on this page along with the Spring term topic overview as soon as that is finalised. 

Home learning activities will carry on as last term. These include Spelling Shed activities, My Maths, Reading( remember you can access reading quizzes using the link through the school website). 

This  half term I will also set activities linked to our Geography or Science learning so please check the website for these each week. 

• Vocabulary Homework task- As a school we are working hard to extend every child's vocabulary. As well as new words taught in curriculum subjects, we aim to improve children's understanding of ten different words each month. It would be very helpful if you could discuss the meaning of these words with your child. Can you and your child use these words in a sentence? Can you use more than one word in a sentence? Make sure your sentence makes sense! The importance should be on understanding of the meaning of each word- please don't worry if your child cannot read or spell the word independently! 

The words for March are listed below:

object           

continent

crew

pause

limit

glide

decide

surface

deep

moon

Welcome to Year2/3!

What a positive start we have had to Year2/3. The children are enjoying the start of our new topic, the Stone Age. We are currently reading the Stone Age boy by Satoshi Kitamura.

Our P.E session is now on a Tuesday and will be outdoors this term. 

Homework will be set weekly and this will include MyMaths and Spelling shed activities. The children have been given new login details for My Maths, Spelling shed passwords are the same as last year. Please let me know if you need these given out again. All children should be reading at least 5 times a week to an adult. If your child has a ZPD book they can complete quizzes at home using the link on the school website. We really appreciate your support with reading, thankyou.
