Dear Year 2 Parents

We are asking for your support with regard to the matter of homework. There have been an increasing amount of children not completing homework or failing to hand it in on time.

We allow a few days for the completion of homework as we know everyone leads busy lives, but feel this should be enough time. The homework supports work done at school and without regular home support this could affect your Childs performance.

The details of homework are:-

Maths – given on Friday, due after the weekend

Spelling – sentences given on Friday and to be returned the following Friday. Please can these be written in pencil?

Spelling words – given on Friday for a test the following Friday. It is better to spend 5 minutes everyday instead of cramming the night before as children do not retain them or realise too late they have forgotten the sheet.

During the Easter holidays we would like your child to practise the 2, 5, and 10 times table. Children in Mrs Noble/Mrs Shaw’s maths group should also practise the 3 and 4 times table. There will be a tables test when the children return to school.

We are collecting plastic bottles (1litre or 2 litre clear/plastic) for our ‘growing’ topic after the holidays.

Many thanks for your continued support.

Yours sincerely

Year 2 Team
