World Kindness Day

Merlin Class thought hard about what kindness means and how we can be kind to others. We created this Word Art to show our thoughts.

National Poetry Day 3.10.24

Merlin Class were inspired by the 10 year old West Yorkshire Young Poet Laureate, Alina Bradar. She inspired us to think about what counts and how we can make our voices count. Check out our amazing poems we wrote below!

Homework Expectations in Merlin Class

Maths - Numbots practice daily. Aiming for at least 10 mins of regular practice per day. We will move on TT Rockstars in the Summer Term.

Reading - Children read with an adult in school 3 x a week and then that book comes home with them on a Friday to continue practising and sharing with you. This enables children to develop confidence and fluency as well as being able to try out their expression and mastery of the text. Please aim to listen to your child as much as possible, at least 3 x a week. Record any reading you do with your child in their yellow reading record. We also want our Year 2 pupils to be reading for pleasure every single day at home. In Year 2 this might be sharing a book together at bedtime, a parent reading a book, children looking at a book independently or children reading to an adult.

Spelling - Spelling books will go back out each Friday with a new set of spellings that relate to the spelling lessons through the week. Books to be handed in by Thursday so that they can be sent home with the new words.

Spelling homework focuses on deliberate practice and oracy skills. Please use the 'Look, say, cover, write, check & correct' method when practising spellings. It is important to check and correct for any errors, please support your child in doing this. Class teachers will also double check when marking and any errors will be marked with a dot. Corrections can be made on the sheet or any adjacent page.
