Dear Parents/Carers,
What a very strange week it has been! We hope that you found the online learning resources useful. As we explained, there was no expectation that all worksheets were to be completed; we understand that families have their own set of circumstances to manage. We would really appreciate it if you could return the folders with sheets, even if they are not completed. As you will have seen, there was a great deal of photocopying involved and we can reuse some sheets in the following weeks.
We would also really appreciate it if reading books could be returned as soon as possible. We still have books sent out last Friday which have not come back. If they are not returned, it impacts on other groups who cannot use that set of books.
Instead of the usual summary of our learning this week we will be giving out suggestions for other activities you may wish to do at home with your child. We hope you find these useful.

Literacy
Comprehension is a key skill we work on each week in class during our discussions. Here is a very short video to watch along with some questions to discuss.

- What do you think the relationship might be between the old man and the boy? What makes you think this?
- What type of story do you think this is?
- What did the boy do to fix the situation at the end of the story?
- What might the characters have been thinking at the end of the story?
- Can you find 3 words to describe your favourite character?
Maths and Numeracy
Today we have sent home SumDog log in details for your child. We have set a challenge based on the learning covered so far in P2.
We have noticed that lots of pupils are accidently reversing two digits. For example, writing 41 instead of 14. We have been looking at the 100 square in class to help with numeral identification and to consolidate understanding of the order of the digits. You may wish to show this to your child at home too.

Questions to discuss at home: What does your friend do to make you feel good? What do you and your friends like to do together? Your child could draw a picture of them with their friend having fun. They could give this to their friend to say thank you for being a good friend.
Have a lovely weekend,
