Gentleness (Year 2) Class
Hello and welcome back, once again. This is Miss Attoh your child’s class teacher.
Summer is here and there are exciting new things to learn and explore.
This term, we will be reading The Last Wolf by Mini Grey. This is a powerful, moving and funny picture book which will have children and adults revisiting its exquisite pages time and time again; and discussing the important message it holds.
We will continue to embed the required Year 2 punctuations and terminologies.
In Maths, we will continue to focus on measures (Mass, Capacity and Temperature) and Fractions. We will continue learning and applying the 2, 5, and 10 times and division tables. Every Friday, we have a mental arithmetic test.
Spelling is undertaken each week and children will be expected to learn them and will be tested on them every Friday. Please encourage your child to use the words given in sentences after practicing them. This will help them use the words in context and practice the spellings.
Reading
Please read with your child at home every day for about 15 minutes and help them to record this in their reading record. Kindly sign and date the reading record every time you hear your child read. Also, write the pages that your child read in the reading records. This will help us know when your child has completed reading that book. We will change the book once your child is able to express understanding of what your child has read.
Homework is set on Fridays each week. It is usually a Literacy and Mathematics task. Sometimes, it may also be topic based. Each task should not take longer than 30 minutes to complete. It is also an opportunity for your child to share their learning with you at home. Kindly return the homework by Tuesday.
PE
PE is on Tuesdays. Therefore, please ensure that earrings are removed on PE days due to safeguarding. Children must wear the appropriate PE kit – white top with black or red bottom to school on Tuesdays. They need to wear the school jumper as well.
Miss Woodcock, Ms Evans, Mrs Gilpin and I, look forward to continue working with you, in our aspirations to help your child achieve excellence.
Thank you for all your support.
