Library books

 

Thank you to all the parents who attended parents evening last night, I have a few more parents to see this afternoon and tomorrow.

If you have not been able to attend a meeting and would like to do so, please either email me or write a note in your child's message book to arrange a more convenient time.  

 

 

From speaking with parents last night, I was informed that the children enjoyed taking home a library book last year.

I thought this would be a great idea for year 2 to continue with this as it gives the children the choice of what they would like to read.

 

This will start after the Christmas holidays.

If these could also be returned on Wednesdays (along with reading books and homework) I will then allocate their register/morning book activity to changing their library books.

 

Pyjama Day

 

Just to remind you all it is pyjama day on Friday, the children and staff can come in dressed in their pyjamas. We ask if your child could bring in 1 euro, which will be donated to the schools chosen charity.

 

Christmas Party

 

On Tuesday Year 2 will be having their Christmas Party, we ask if parents could bring in a small snack such as a bag of crisps, a few cakes, biscuits, juice, etc.

 

Thank you in advance.

I would like to say a big well-done to all of the children in Year 2, I have just completed their RWI assessments and I´m very happy with all of their results.

 

In such a short time of using this program they have made great progress.

Homework

 

This week the children have only 2 pieces of homework.

 

One is a letter to Santa, they have been learning how to layout a letter this week and what they need to include in it.

 

The second is their maths, which is position, direction and movement.   

 

All children will be completing their maths end of term tests and Read Write Inc. tests next week.

They will be tested on all areas of what they have been taught this term.

The children will not receive any Red and Green words this week due to the Fiesta days and more Christmas linked Literacy lessons.
