Term 1 Week 2

Welcome to the first full week of this year! I hope all the children in our class have had a positive introduction to what year 2 is in my classroom.

This week will be the start of Music and PE lessons for the year. Our lessons are on Wednesday and Friday. These are the two days that the children need to wear their sports uniform. Monday, Tuesday and Thursday the children are required to wear their day uniform. Our class have Library on Thursday. A newsletter will be coming home this week to outline term one, so please look out for this important note.

This week in class we begin formal lessons. In Literacy this week we will be revising short vowel sounds, full stops and begin weekly comprehension tasks and guided reading. Home readers will be coming home this week. It is very important that your child reads their book every night and return it the next day to collect a new book. The home readers are meant to be easy for your child as we want this "home reading experience" to be positive and happy. Your child will be bringing home a reader that is a level or two below their PM benchmark. Homework will be sent home on Friday afternoon and is expected to be returned the following Friday. This allows for a weekend and 5 days for this task to be completed. I appreciate that you are all busy and having 5 days and a weekend to complete homework - I am hoping helps us all out. In Maths this week we will be looking at addition and numbers to 200. In health, we begin our safety lessons, using the Daniel Morcombe Curriculum. In science this week, we begin our investigations on the life cycle of a meal worm.

Enjoy the week ahead and please feel free to contact me anytime if you have any concerns or questions.

Kind regards
Felicity
