Class Monnow - Year 1 & 2

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

Teaching Assistants – Mrs Cole (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon)

Welcome to Monnow’s class page. As we start off in the Spring term there is a lot to look forward to.

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.

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 and an information sheet will also be sent home for you to look at to help with supporting your child with their new sound. During these sessions both year groups will also practise their handwriting, focusing on the correct letter formation.

In Maths the focus will be on addition and subtraction and multiplication and division.

In History our topic is, ‘How have toys changed?’ A workshop has been arranged for this term, giving the children hands on experience of this topic.

In PSHE ‘Dreams and Goal, is our topic and our big question In R.E. is, ‘What does it mean to belong to a faith community?’

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.

Thursday – children arrive to school in indoor P.E kit. As the colder weather is fast approaching children may need to arrive to school wearing their outdoor P.E kit over their shorts and t-shirt.

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