Happy Friday, everybody - we hope you have had a great week! Christmas is upon us as has been seen by the Naughty Elf visiting all the classes in Key Stage 1 this week!
Maths & Reading Homework
We hope that maths homework still goes well - email us if there are any questions about any aspects of this homework.
This week, we would like you to complete pages 15 and 17.
Also keep reading little and often using the Big Cat Library or any other resources that are working for you - it makes a HUGE difference!
Parent/Teacher Consultations
We look forward to seeing you over the next 2 Mondays and Tuesdays for Parent/Teacher Consultation. At these Autumn Term meetings we focus on how your child has settled into the new routines and expectations of their new Year group. We normally give out some support materials for you at these meetings so this year we have put copies of these documents for you to view on our Phase Group web page. We have included these documents:
- A list of the 100 high frequency words split into their 5 phases - this just breaks down the order that we teach these most common words. We look for Year 1's to be able to read these words by the end of the year and the Year 2's to be able to spell them.
- A list of the next 200 high frequency words - Year 2's, if you can read and spell all the words in the above list, try these for a challenge!
- Phase 2/3/5 sound mats - these show the phonemes we teach and the order we teach them in (no new phonemes are introduced in Phase 4 so don't worry, you aren't missing one).
- Writing Mat for Year 1 and Year 2 - these show the end of year writing outcomes that we look for. There is also one for Greater Depth - if you can do all the ones on the "Expected" sheet, try the "Greater Depth" sheet.
