Oaks Important information

Reading folders need to come to school every day and be placed, by the children, into their trays.  Our main day for changing children’s books is a Thursday however, we are happy to do this more regularly if wished, please just ask.  We will be checking that children are secure before moving them on to another level.   Please remember to record their reading in the Reading Response Books.
 
This term, Year 1 children will be set 5 spellings to learn and Year 2 children will be set 8 spellings to learn.  

​Monday - Spellings are tested.
​Tuesday - New spelling rule and words given to children.
 
Times tables (Year 2 only) should be practiced each week.  There are different ways to do this including: chanting, using an app or suitable website and playing different games.   Year 2 children are expected to know their 2x, 3x, 5x and 10x tables off by heart by the end of Year 2.
