September 2025 

I hope you all had a lovely, relaxing Summer. This year I am looking forward to teaching P2 literacy and numeracy and also P4 literacy. 

You will be able to find more detailed information about your class on the main class page, however I will send photos/specific information via your seesaw account. 

 Literacy

During this term the children will be building on their previous knowledge to develop things such as their phonics skills, writing skills and grammar.  

Keep working hard at reading at home and try to take as many opportunities to read when out and about eg at the supermarket reading labels/signs; reading the letters on number plates ; words on the television ; cards. 

With a focus on good handwriting, your support at home would be greatly appreciated - please encourage correct letter formation and good sizing of letters in the spelling booklets and written homework too.(p4)

Please spend time talking about the reading book sent home and ask questions such as " What is the boy doing?" ; "Can you spot the word ______?" " Find a word beginning with _ " 

P2 Numeracy

Please take time to get you child thinking about numbers - looking at number plates; find 'odd numbers ; counting money/blocks/sweets ; looking at shapes and reading the clock. 

Any extra reinforcement will all help you child

 Please check seesaw messages regularly in order to stay in touch.
