Reading• Please read with your child each

evening and ensure you sign their Reading Record.

Grammar

• Instead of phonics, the children will have daily grammar lessons.

• Your children will be taking a standardised spelling and punctuation assessment at the end of year 2.

• We will provide further information about SATs nearer the time.

Values• Values are very important to support

the children with their learning. • We will be working on a certain Value

over a two week period in order to give the children the skills they need for everyday life.

What you can do to help!• Read daily with your child.• Ensure your child completes the

homework themselves and in PENCIL.

• Practise spellings for their Friday test.

• Continue to raise maths language and general maths awareness through every day activities.

Reminders!• Please label all school uniform,

including shoes, trainers, water bottles etc.

• Please ensure PE kit is in school every day.

• Please ensure water bottles are provided.

Other Important Information
