Dear Parents,
Please note - there is no 'mymaths' homework this week. As a school we are focusing this week on World Book Day for next week. Please find attached the task below.
I have also set their new spelling lists for this coming week. We will be testing them every Thursday so please practice over the next week. There is also a 3rd spelling group. This will only affect a couple children and they will be informed on Friday which spellings to focus on.
Most children should be focusing on Mr Leonard's spellings.
Mrs Kenny's group know who they are.
Mrs Burke's group (x3 children) - they will find out who tomorrow
Many Thanks,
Mr Leonard

Weekly Spelling List (1.2.24)
Dear parents,
Please can I ask children to read every day and for reading records to be signed by an adult. There are a quite a few children who have not had their reading records signed for a couple of weeks now and it is vital that they continue to do this for the rest of the Academic year in order to reach the expectations with their reading and comprehension skills by the end of the year.
We cannot change their reading book unless they have read 3 times (minimum expectation). If there's no signature then they will keep the same book until there's evidence to then move them on.
Many Thanks
Mr Leonard

4.11.23
Dear Parents,
Apologies for the late post for the homework task via this class page. The homework was actually set and made active since Thursday this week, via Mymaths website. Please support where needed and only complete 20 mins worth. We do not expect children to be spending any longer than this on this task. There is no obligation to complete. Let the children try and complete independently. If they struggle, then please support their learning where necessary.
Many Thanks,
Mr Leonard
3.11.23 homework
Dear Parents,
Please find the homework information for this week. I understand that some children are spending over 45 mins on the maths homework. Please can I ask them to spend only 15-20 mins max and just stop where they get up to. We don't want to cause any unwanted stress, for you or your child, to get the work completed as that is not our intention.
Please support them if they are finding the work a little difficult and then record in reading records. We will pick this up and make sure they receive additional support in class.
Hope this clarifies expectations for the homework each week.
Many thanks,
Mr Leonard

Homework 21.9.23
Dear parents,
Please find below the Meet the Teacher slides from yesterday. I have updated the PE slots. Please note for this week only we will be doing PE on Friday (Mr Leonard) alongside PE on Thursday with Mr Manly.
W/C 25/9/23 - PE will revert back to the new timetable - Mondays (am) & Thursdays (pm).
I have also included the Year 2 Curriculum overview for this 1/2 term.
Homework will be set each Thursday (mymaths logins are stuck into their reading records). Children are expected to read (x5) for 15-20 mins. There will be 1 piece of creative homework which will be set each 1/2 term. This will be posted on the class page shortly.
Children's spelling booklets will be sent home Friday this week. Your child will need to focus on the highlighted & dated spelling list each week. They will need to bring in their copy so we can continue to update.
Hope this helps
Many thanks
Mr Leonard

Home Learning Guidance
- Every child should read for 20 minutes each day. We recommend this takes place at least five times per week. Reading is the most important homework to complete with your child. When they have read the books a few times, please remember to ask questions about the text such as:
- Is the text Fiction or Non-Fiction? How do you know?
- Who is the author?
- What happened in the story/ text?
- Where did the story take place?
- On page X, what happened?
- What’s your opinion about this text?
- Is this text similar or different to other books you are reading?
- Homework is set on Thursday’s and due back on Tuesday’s. We do not upload homework to the class page as we do vary the homework for different children so the homework is not always the same for the whole class. We kindly ask that homework is expected to be completed every week. If you need a copy of the homework please ask Miss Larkin or Mr Beach at the end of the school day.
- The children are expected to bring in their reading books and records every day. Our soft start to the day involves individual reading so it is essential these are in school every day.
- More guidance is to follow regarding plans for Spelling in KS1 in the New Year.
