Please see our curriculum newsletter below for further curriculum information for this term.

PE will be on a Monday and Wednesday. Please can you ensure you have appropriate kit in school on these days which is a blue polo shirt, dark shorts and trainers or plimsolls.

Please support with the children's home learning, particularly hearing your child read regularly, this is really important in our preparation for KS1 SATs in May. We are using the Accelerated Reading programme in year 2 and to support this, we are encouraging children to take the test for the book they have read and change their books everyday. The children are very keen to take part in the tests and we are looking forward to seeing the results. Please see below for more details about Accelerated Learning.

WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO A FABULOUS AUTUMN TERM

Thank you for your on-going support J

ACCELERATED READING

The children are enrolled on Accelerated Reader which provides comprehension quizzes. The results of these can be viewed at home.

Children use a software program called Renaissance Place at school. This program has a special feature called Renaissance Home Connect, which you can access outside of school from any computer with an Internet connection. Renaissance Home Connect is fun and easy to use. It allows the teacher, and you to share information about children's progress in Accelerated Reader. You can log in to Renaissance Home Connect from any computer with an Internet connection and compatible browser. Children have been given their user names and passwords. To log in to Renaissance Home Connect Website: https://Ukhosted102.renlearn.co.uk/2236540/HomeConnect
