The Spinney Primary School
Teaching and Learning Together
Welcome to Years 1 and 2!
We have not elected our school councillors yet but watch this space!
Please see below timetables to show what we will be learning this week.
Classroom code of conduct |
|
The classroom code is created together by the children and Year 1 and 2 teaching team. The children know that we need to keep to these rules so that we stay safe, happy and learning to our full potential. As well as these codes of code there is also a class agreement on each classes presentation above.
Curriculum |
|
For the curriculum information sheet and our usual weekly timetable for this term, please see below.
We teach cursive handwriting in school, forming letters in the style that can be found below. Every lower case letter starts on the line, shown by a red dot.
If you wish to practise your handwriting at home, you can log in to the Letter-join website on your ipad, tablet, laptop or desktop computer. Home access instructions and a Home Guide can be found below.
White Rose Maths
We teach maths White Rose Maths.
Homework |
|
It is important that your child has their reading record in school every day as we are encouraging the children to keep a simple record of their reading and to talk to us about the reading they do at home. We have reading time every day, and during the course of the week, children will read independently, with a partner or group and with an adult. Children are welcome to bring their own reading book from home as long as it is of an appropriate level for them to read and enjoy independently. Children will be able to change their reading books to take home during class reading time. They are encouraged to do this independently
Spellings are best worked on little and often: 5 or 10 minutes every day is more beneficial than one long session. It is also very helpful if you can encourage your child to apply the spellings in context by writing a few sentences using these words and, of course, using new or unfamiliar words in conversation.
year 2
This term, please continue to reinforce number fluency and strategies for the four opertions: addition and subtraction of 2 2-digit numbers; multiplication and division using x2, x5 and x10 tables.
Essential skills

e.g. (2) 4+6 = 10 ... 40+60 = 100
