Year 1/2

Welcome to Year 1/2. 

Here you will find links to our class newsletters, homework and information about events in Year 1/2. 

In year 1/2, your child will need a book bag which they will need to bring to school every day.  We love to read in Year 1/2 and we change our reading books every Monday and Friday.   Please read daily at home, little and often is much better than a longer period less often. We encourage the children to read the same book more than once throughout the week in order to become confident readers.  Repeated reading of the same text helps children to practise their decoding skills as well as developing their fluency. Please sign the reading record each time you hear your child read. There is a little note in the front of your reading record that explains how best to read at home. In your child's reading record there is also a copy of the tricky words that we will be continuing to learn in phonics lessons. Daily practise of reading these tricky words will really help your child. A copy can also be found below, under the 'Phonics - Little Wandle' icon.

Children in year 1/2 are provided with free fruit at snack time during our morning playtime.  There is therefore no need to send in snack money or individual snacks for your child.

Our PE day is on a Monday. Please ensure your child comes into school in their school PE kit on this day. Information about our school PE kit can be found HERE .  On Thursday afternoons we run a woodland session in our beautiful school woodland.  Children need to come to school in clothes suitable for the woodland on a Thursday (try to choose older things that you don't mind getting a bit dirty!).  Please also bring a pair of wellies or an old pair of trainers to change in to for our woodland session.  These can be brought in each week or left in a bag on your child's coat peg.   Please ensure children have a warm, waterproof coat with them everyday, we always try to get outside at playtime, even if it is a little wet and we love learning outside too.
