Welcome to Class Pen Y Fan
Dear Parents,
Welcome back! We hope you have had a fantastic summer break. We are looking forward to another busy year and working with you to ensure your child is happy, settled and making good progress in their learning.
Here is here some information that you may find useful for your child's time in Pen Y Fan.
P.E. will be on a Friday.
Children can bring a healthy snack (fruit/water) from home for morning snack time or purchase fruit from school for 30p .
To ensure all children are collected safely from school we ask that you keep us informed and update the list kept in the office. If anyone unfamiliar to us is going to be collecting your child could you please let us know.
Reading books are required to be in school everyday. At this point in their learning, we encourage the children to read other books at home as well as their school books. This helps to develop a love of reading and access to a range of genres. In addition to this the children will also have Guided Group Reading sessions. As well as listening to the children read, Guided Group Reading also provides opportunities to teach reading skills and to assess them.
Children will receive a spellings every Wednesday which they will need to learn how to spell for a test the following Wednesday.
Homework in Year 2 will be given every Friday in the form of ‘Challenges.’ The challenges encourage children to develop their Numeracy, Literacy and Thinking Skills.
Our Topic for this Autumn Term is ‘ To Boldly Go....’ We plan on doing lots of fun and challenging work based on Space.
If you have any concerns regarding your child or if there are any queries please don't hesitate to ask.
