Cressing Primary School

Dear Parents / Carers, 

What an amazing first term we have had in Class 2! The children are now familiar with our routines and expectations and have settled in brilliantly. The work they are producing is wonderful, and it has been fantastic to see the progress they are making. 

Please continue to support your child by ensuring homework is completed on time and by reading with them regularly. All reading should be recorded in their reading diaries, and we encourage you to discuss the books with your child. Each book should be read at least twice before quizzing. Quizzes can be completed at home or at school. If your child wishes to quiz at home, please use the AR link below: https://global-zone61.renaissance-go.com/welcomeportal/2037900 

Your child’s username and password can be found at the front of their reading record. Once logged in, click on the orange book icon to search for their book. If you experience any difficulties logging in, please do not hesitate to speak to us. 

Your child’s Times Tables Rock Stars username and password can also be found at the front of their reading diary. Regular practice will support their recall of the 2s, 5s, 10s and 3s taught in Year 2. Each week, we will be checking the leaderboard and celebrating children with a TTRS certificate! 

Housekeeping 

· PE days: Tuesday and Friday 

· Homework: Sent home on Friday and due the following Thursday. If your child is absent on a Friday, they will still be expected to collect and complete their homework. Please encourage them to complete tasks as independently as possible so we can see what they have understood in school. Homework will include a maths task, a reading task, and spellings each week. 

· Contact: If you need to contact me urgently, please do so via the school office, and they will forward your message. 

· Pencil cases: Not required in Year 2. Children may use their own pencil cases in the afternoons for colouring activities if they wish.
