Dear Parents/Carers,
Maths Next week we will be looking at making sensible estimates when counting sets of objects and ordering and comparing numbers. We shall also be introducing the greater than and less than symbols. You may like to support your child at home by working on any of the following activities:
Home Reading Books Your child should have brought home some colour banded books today together with a new style Reading Record book. Please can you record any reading completed at home. This can include library books, magazines, newspaper etc. There is additional information and activities in these books which you are very welcome to use as you and your child wish. We will collect these books in every few weeks but if you have a concern regarding reading please can you either e mail us or pop in after school for a chat. The children will have opportunities during the school day to change these books but please can you remind your child when they need to choose new books. Often children are able to read the words in a book at a higher level than they are able to interpret and understand what they are reading. Understanding and an ability to talk confidently about what they have read is a very important skill the children need to acquire in order to enjoy and progress confidently through the reading levels. You may find some of the following activities useful in helping your child develop these important skills; Fiction Books
Information Books
Wet Play Please can your child bring in a named colouring book that they can keep in their tray for wet play times Pupil Acceptable User Policy for ICT Attached to this letter are 2 copies of the Year 2 pupil acceptable use policy for ICT. This will also be shared in class with the children and we would appreciate your support to reinforce this guidance at home to keep them safe online. Please could one copy of the policy be returned to school signed by both you and your child. If you would like further information about keeping children safe online then please see the e-safety section on the main St Martin’s School blog page www.stmartinsprimaryschool.edublogs.org Many thanks, Mrs Ashworth, Mrs Ash, Mrs Page |
