Class Monnow - Year 1 & 2

Teacher – Mrs Adjei and Mrs Generalovic (PPA cover Wednesday afternoon)

Teaching Assistants – Mrs Cole, Monday, Tuesday, all day and Wednesday morning

and Mrs Howard, Thursday and Friday

Welcome to Monnow’s class page and to the last half term of the school year.

In English both year groups will be looking at a range of books, both fiction and non-fiction and writing a range of genres based on these books. They have been creating their own stories based on what we have read in class, produced diary entries, reports and fact files.

As part of our Phonic sessions, Y1 and Y2 will be taught separately focusing on a sound that is relevant to their year group. This sound will be taught all week, along with the spelling patterns and rules for that sound. Year 2 will have their new words relating to that week’s sound, stuck into their reading diary. During these sessions both year groups will also practise their handwriting, focusing on the correct letter formation.

In Maths the focus will be time

In Geography we will be looking at, What will we find at the coast?

In PSHE we will be finishing off our ‘Relationships’ topic before moving onto ‘Changing me’ and our big question In R.E. is, ‘Why do we care for others and the world and what does it matter?

I am available after school, or you can make an appointment at your convenience, if you have any concerns.

Thank you for your continuing support in your child’s education.

Mrs K Adjei

Things to remember!

Monday – children come to school in outdoor P.E. kit.

Friday – children bring their forest school kit to school. Please provide long sleeve top, trousers, old shoes or wellies and a rain proof jacket. Even in hot weather children are expected to wear long trousers and long sleeved tops. This is to stop any insect bites or scratches from branches.

It is very important that children wear the correct kit for these lessons.

Don't Forget

Your child must bring their reading book and diary to school. every day. Please try to read with them daily, as those precious moments spent reading together will be so beneficial to their learning.

Don’t forget to sign the reading diary, as this will count towards earning reading certificates.

Please provide your child with a drink, preferably water and a healthy snack. Fruit is provided daily.

Now the weather is warmer, sun cream should be applied before arriving in school.
