Information
It was lovely to meet you all properly at Parents’ Evening. Thank you for taking a strong interest in your child’s learning. Many parents were keen to help even more at home. I hope the reading, writing and maths document is helpful. Also, thank you for coming to see our assembly. I know the children loved showing you all what they have learned. The next Parents’ Evening will be held in the Spring term. In the meantime, do not hesitate to drop in if you have anything that you’d like to discuss.
SEAL
The SEAL topic for this half term is ‘Getting On’. We’ll encourage the children to think about ways in which we can get on with others in situations such as playtimes or group learning. We’ll discuss different friendship tokens that can be given such as a smile or a compliment. I’ve been really pleased so far with how well Year 2 generally get on well as a whole class.

This week the spelling chant to practise with your child is ‘drop the y for an i’. The route word of these spellings has an ly added (or fully) and the y is replaced with an i. For example, cheeky becomes cheekily.
There are lots of types of words where it’s necessary to drop the y for an i. In this list, all the words are adverbs. That means they all describe a verb.
| LO: drop the y for an i |
| cheekily |
| funnily |
| crazily |
| lazily |
| healthily |
| luckily |
| hurriedly |
| beautifully |
What a busy week!
Year Six have made a great start to this half term with some awesome artwork, splendid spelling games and winning the Cool Class Cup!
Well done and keep it up!
