P2 Homework 12th October

General Reminders

As we move into the October holidays, winter is fast approaching. We will continue to have open windows in our classroom for airflow so warm clothing in general is a must. We are not requiring that your child changes into a P.E. kit currently but please ensure your child has warm cloths on days we have P.E. and any P.E. kits that are in use may contain a change of clothes as required. Please do consider appropriate foot wear (trainers are better for running than pumps), leg wear (such as joggers over shorts) and tops (long sleeved t-shirts over vests and a warm jumper for taking outside). A good raincoat should always come into school even where the weather doesn’t look like rain is likely.

To go along side this, water bottles should contain WATER, not juice, fizzy drinks or diluting juices. Your child will be using their water bottle to drink during class times and water is the only option for the duration of a school day. Any special drinks cartons may be had at lunch time and milk is offered at milk and snack time for those children on our milk list.

General homework for 12th October 2020

Literacy – There is a task for your child’s tricky words (either a word-writing practise or sentence writing task) and a task for writing and finding oi and oy words.
Please remember to use no more than 2 pages in the jotter for this task – it was wonderful seeing everyone’s work and effort and thank you all for working to stick to using only 2 pages!

Reading – Reading books will NOT go home this week due to the October break but please check your child’s Active Learn account on Thursday for Top Jobs, an information e-book about some fantastic jobs people can have.

Snack – Just 1 healthy item Please!!

At the moment, pupils are eating their snack after play time in the classroom. In previous years, pupils would eat their snack outside during morning break-time. This keeps our classrooms tidy. Break-time lasts 15 minutes and we want most of this time to be playing, rather than eating.

To help your child prepare for this return, please can you make sure your child has one item for snack that they would be able to carry outside with them. This should ideally be one an item of fruit and something they can eat quickly. Thank you! 😊
