Crete Class Week Ending 23.10.15
Welcome to Year 2 Crete Class!
This week in Crete Class
We have been celebrating Inclusion Week this week in class. We have learnt how to cross the road safely and designed our own Road Safety Superheroes/Mascots.
We have also discussed bullying and what we should do if we or someone we know is being bullied and created posters on being good friends. In addition to this we looked at how we can stay safe on the internet creating posters explaining the rules for other children to use.
As part of our literacy learning we created friendship letters to other children in our class explaining what we think makes them special and a good friend.
For numeracy we collected data on our class and recorded this in tally charts and pictograms.

Reminders
Book Bags: Please ensure that the children bring their book bag to school every day, as in addition to being a means of transporting reading materials it is a valuable method of communication. We encourage the children to give important notes from their parents direct to their class teacher.
Uniform: Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child’s name. Children will need their P.E. kits in school on a Thursday and Friday as these are our PE days. Please encourage children to be independent dressers at home, as these skills will be helpful at school.
Reading: We change the children’s reading books daily, so if they have finished their books please ensure that the children put their home reading record and reading book in the basket every morning to be changed. Please support your child with reading at home and record a comment in their reading record.
Phonics: The phonics scheme we follow is Read, Write Inc. Please read and practise your sounds and spellings with your child at home.
Spellings: This week’s spellings are – write, written, wrote, wrong, wrap
Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to another fun filled week.
