Homework

Reading: Please hear your child read as much as possible, ideally five times a week. Once you have read with your child, please write in their reading diary and don't forget to colour in a star. Once your child has read 30 times, they will receive a reading certificate in our Celebration Assembly. Don't forget to login to Oxford Owl to access our online reading platform. 

Numbots: The children in Year 2 love using Numbots, in class, to support their learning. Please encourage your child to use Numbots as often as possible to support their learning.

In addition to this, children will be given a task every half-term linking to their learning to complete at home.

Phonics

Children at St. Michael's Primary School are taught phonics through a systematic programme called Read Write Inc. This is a highly regarded scheme designed to help children learn to read fluently and confidently through a structured and engaging approach. Children will be taught in small groups based on their phonological knowledge and their progress will be assessed every half term. 

Please take a look on the Read Write Inc website for more information www.ruthmiskin.com/parentsandcarers/

Parents are also welcome to sign up to use Oxford Owl, where you are able to access a wider variety of books for your child to read online. 

If you have any questions about Read Write Inc and Phonics, please speak to Mrs Baker or Mrs Milanovic.

Parent Helpers

If you are interested in helping in your child's classroom, please speak to Mrs Squires in the office as you will need a valid and up-to-date DBS.
