Year 1/2
Welcome back to school! We hope you have had a fantastic summer.
Our first topic back in Year 1/2 in September will be Dinosaurs! We will be doing lots of exciting learning and will tell you more about what is in store this half term at our Welcome Meeting. At the Welcome Meeting we will also give information about things like PE days, so please send your child to school in normal school uniform until then.
Year 1/2 Routines
Reading books will be changed once a week, please speak to your child's teacher or email the office if you want to discuss your child's reading. Please record what your child has read in their reading records. Reading records will be checked by teachers once a week.
On the days children have PE they should come to school dressed in their outdoor PE kit. They should wear black or blue joggers/shorts, a white or light blue t-shirt, jumper and trainers please. Please note NO sports teams kits, eg NO football shirts). It is very important they have extra layers they can take on and off when the weather gets colder.
PE days for Hardwick are:

PE days for Cambourne are:

Please can we remind parents to make sure children are dressed appropriately for the weather and remember we will continue to keep classrooms well ventilated so classrooms may be cool.
Home Learning
Reading, times tables, real life maths and vocabulary-building are all excellent ways to help your child learn and make progress at home. The home learning expectation in year 1/2 is that the children do the following learning at home
- Daily reading (suggested time 10 minutes)
- Read to your child daily (suggested time 10 minutes)
- Daily maths fluency (suggested time 5 minutes)
You can also check out the school website maths and English pages for lots of other exciting things to do at home.
Additional maths materials
Please look at the maths pages on the school website for more ideas.
The number bonds, doubles and halves games on 'Hit the Button' are also great for improving fluency.
