'Tolerate the weaknesses of those in the family of faith, forgiving one another in the same way you have been forgiven.’ Colossians 3:13

Welcome to Year Two!

Homework and Spellings

Homework will be given out on Friday and should be returned by the following Friday.  It is vital the children attempt their homework, particularly Spellings, as it will aid their learning throughout the year.

Reading

We place a great emphasis on reading at St Laurence’s Primary School and feel it is very important that the children read every night. Reading record books should be signed by parents to indicate the page reached each evening.  We aim to change reading books on Wednesdays and Fridays, so please ensure that books, along with reading records, are sent in to school on those days.

Rewards

• Children can achieve stickers and team points
• Children can achieve dojos for their work, for good effort in a lesson, outstanding behaviour, care and courtesy, helpfulness to others and for following the Good to be Green class rules.  The number of dojos are recorded for each child.
• Children can also be nominated for the Friday worship stickers.  Children can be nominated by any member of staff or welfare assistants.  For outstanding effort or success children may be awarded the Superstar award and children can also be nominated for our Writer of the Week award.
