Grandparent’s Stay and Share – Monday 16th November

On Monday 16th November, we will be inviting Grandparent’s in for a ‘Stay and Share’ session with their grandchild/children. The drop in will be a lovely opportunity for children to share their learning so far and spend time with their grandparent/s in school.

We will have two sittings:

Reception to Year 2 children – 1:15 – 2:15pm

Year 3 – Year 6 children – 2:15pm

Where grandparents have grandchildren in more than one year group, please attend the time of the older child (e.g. a grandparent visiting children in Year 2 and Year 4 should come at 2:15pm).

If you would like your child/children’s grandparent/s to take your child/children home after the stay and share, then please state this on Parent Pay in the notes section. 

Class teachers will have class lists of who has consent and who doesn’t. When they are ready to leave, grandparents must let class teachers know so that they can tick them off their list.

Tickets will begin at x2 per family however this may open to extra tickets nearer the event depending on the numbers.

Tickets cost £1.50 which includes a hot drink and biscuit for grandparents. Money raised will go towards subsiding trips and visits at Newdale for all children. Please note – only x1 transaction can be made so please ensure you purchase all tickets that you require. 

Deadline for booking tickets is midday on Friday 6th November.

If we have extra tickets these will go on sale shortly after this date.

We kindly ask that if a grandparent would like a hot drink, that they bring their own mug to help reduce waste/costs rather than the school purchasing single use cups.

With regards to parking on school site, this will be on a first come first served basis for blue badge holders only.

Please note, this is an event for Grandparent’s only.

Tickets are now available to purchase via ParentPay.

We look forward to welcoming everyone!

On this occasion, this event does not include Nursery, any upcoming events will be communicated directly to Nursery parents. 

Many thanks

Miss Cook

Year 2 Homework

We would like to share some information about our weekly homework routine to help support your child’s learning at home.

Weekly Homework Overview

Each week, your child will receive two pieces of homework:

  • Spelling
  • Maths

These will be handed out every Friday, and both are expected to be completed and returned by the following Friday.

Spelling Homework

The spelling homework will include a list of words for your child to practise throughout the week. We use a method called Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check, which helps children learn spellings effectively. Here’s how it works:

  • Look at the word carefully
  • Say the word aloud
  • Cover the word so it can’t be seen
  • Write the word from memory
  • Check to see if it was spelled correctly

Children should practise their spelling words each night—Friday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday—to build confidence and accuracy.

Spelling Test – Spelling tests will take place every Friday afternoon, and results will be recorded in the back of your child’s homework book.

Spelling Extension Activity- As an optional challenge, children may write a range of sentences using one of their spelling words in each sentence. This helps them understand how to use the word in context.

Maths Homework -The maths homework will focus on developing fluency and confidence with key skills. Tasks will be designed to reinforce what we’ve been learning in class and support your child’s progress.

Submission Reminder- Both spelling and maths homework should be completed and handed in by Friday morning each week. New homework will be issued every Friday.

We ask that children read at home at least three times a week to help build fluency and confidence. This can be with an adult or independently—whatever works best for your family. They can also write a personal comment in their reading diary based on what they have read or an adult can record a comment too.

Thank you for your continued support. If you have any questions or need further guidance, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

The Year 2 Team

*Please note their will be no spelling test this Friday. The first spelling test will be 12/09/25 based on the rule a before l and ll. This set of spellings will be sent out on 05/09/25.
