This week in Leicestershire 2

Date: Wednesday 30th April 

 

TERM 5 WEEK 2

 

This week in Art, Leicestershire 2 have focused on royal portraiture, developing observational and artistic skills. Maths lessons continued the exploration of fractions, specifically finding a third and the whole. In English we wrote creative stories about princesses in castles. Finally, History lessons introduced the children to royal residences, such as Buckingham Palace, providing cultural and historical context.

Reading:

Children should be reading everyday and once a week this can be logged on Boom Reader: 

https://www.boomreader.co.uk/parents

  • All children who are on RWI will bring home a RWI Reading book each Friday, please return them the following Thursday. 
  • Children in Year 2 also begin to bring home a book from the Discovery Centre which is levelled according to the Accelerated Reader (AR) scheme  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/accelerated-reader-1/

      These books can be returned and swapped as soon as they are finished. There is also a quiz                    associated with these books which children must complete after they have finished each AR book:  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/year-2-1/

 

Some children will bring home both a RWI Reading book and an AR levelled reading book - please read both with your child. Both books should be left in their bags so they can read them at school, as well as at home, to enhance their fluency.
