Term 1 - Weeks 5 & 6 😁

 Good afternoon parents, 

I hope you are having a lovely weekend and are enjoying the sunshine. Who can believe it is the last weekend of summer already? ☀😎

 Just a few pieces of information for Week Five.

Homework

On Monday, the next fortnight of homework will be sent home that consists of the Year Two fluency grid with this fortnights focus sounds and tricky words. Have a look at our last blog post which shows you how you can use this at home to increase your child's reading fluency. We have also included all of the spelling lists for your information on the back of the fluency grid. The pink list 💓 is the target for Year Two from our InitiaLit program. Please feel free to use these lists at home to increase your child's spelling abilities. Have a look at our Fluency grids and spelling lists below to see our focus sounds 🤓





Friendology

This week we will be starting our Friendology lessons as a year two cohort. We will be learning about the four friendship facts and how we can be a good friend. Have a look below at the four facts we will revise each week. 


If you would like, we also have a FREE parent sign up (as we are a Friendology school) which provides some wonderful language and skills you can use at home to help your child through any friendship issues they may be having. Click on the link below to become a URstrong family!

  Good afternoon  parents, Wow! What an absolutely busy yet fun first full week we have had in Year Two. Swimming lessons have finished and we are into full days of learning this week. Can you believe it is already week 3? I am so proud of how much focus and persistence our Year Two team are showing when learning new things. In just a few weeks we are already growing in our confidence to problem solve, continuing to build our independence to complete our work, try out new things and even suggest and share our own ideas.    Thank you to all who have made the time to read through the parent information slides posted last week and read through the other information in the previous posts. I hope it was a great way to find out the 'nitty gritty' of  Year Two learning and life in our class. Please feel free to refer back to the previous blog post for a link to the slides presented and feel free to email me with any follow up questions you may have. Homework Yay! The time that you hav
