Helpful Classroom Information

Reading
Your child will bring home a book and/or poem every night. Make sure you read with your child, ask them questions about the book, and ask them what reading strategy they are learning. This will help them to comprehend what they are reading and practice their skills. Please support your child to return their reading book/s daily.

Our library time is WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON

Spelling
Your child will have  weekly spelling words in their reading log notebook. These words will come from classroom testing  and/or their draft writing books starting in a couple of weeks. The children will have the opportunity to learn these words within our classroom programme too.

Hukanui School has a No Homework Policy.

Maths
For the first 3 weeks of term our Maths learning focus is Statistics. Maths Interchange will start after that where we will be targeting Addition and Subtraction. During Maths Interchange your child may have another teacher in the Year 1/2 team. This is dependent on what stage they are at.

Writing
We will explore a range of writing through our topic Identity and other learning experiences. The children will have writing goals in the back of their writing books that they will be working on. Feel free to check them out!

Parent Support
If you would be interesting in helping out within the classroom or doing a weekly supporting role such as returning books please come and discuss options with me.

I am really looking forward to working with the new members of Room 15 and I am sure it is going to be an awesome year ahead! Please feel free to ask questions, pop in and meet me. I look forward to meeting you all!

Kind Regards
