Writing
During Spring 1 the focus text is ‘Pattan’s Pumpkin’. Literacy activities will be planned around this text. In Spring 2 the focus text will be ‘Zeraffa Giraffa’. Please can we ask you not to read these to your children until we have read them at school! We often teach the book in sections and it can ruin the build up! Thanks.

Please continue to practice the Year 1 and 2 high frequency (common exception/red) words. These are the words that the children should be able to read and spell by the end of Year 2. We will inform you each week of any focus spellings that we would like you to support your child with.
