Words to know

Say these words with a grown-up. Can you use each one in a sentence?

Coat · Goat · Moon · Soon · School · Shook · Green · Beach · Read · Teacher · Light · Park · Sharp · Oil · Spoil · Fork · Cake · Home · Always · Because · What · Those · Please · Write · Favourite · Purple · Burger · Thirteen · Cemetery · Complains

Try it at home

  • Look, say, cover, write and check five words each day.
  • Ask a grown-up to say a word while you write it, then a short sentence.
  • Remember capital letters at the start of a sentence, and a full stop at the end.
  • Practise favourite with ou, and watch silent w in write.

For parents and teachers

These 30 words are for spelling and dictation practice in Infants 2. On the test, the words are chosen at random, so it helps to practise the whole list, not just a few favourites.

For extra practice, say a word clearly and ask your child to write it. Then dictate a short, simple sentence that uses one or two of the words. This builds spelling, careful listening, punctuation and dictation at the same time.

  • Keep sentences short, with a capital letter and a full stop.
  • Say the sentence at a normal pace, then more slowly if needed.
  • This list uses British and Caribbean spelling, such as favourite (with ou) and colour in the example sentences.

The read-aloud uses the device speech voice. An English voice is chosen when one is installed (it prefers a British or Trinidad voice when it can). A grown-up is still the best model.

  • Label family photos, days, numbers and classroom things in Spanish.

For parents and teachers

This is additional Infants 2 revision, for Spanish speaking practice and a short written test. After this post, your child should be able to:

  • say greetings: Hola, Buenos días and Buenas noches
  • introduce themselves: Soy un niño or Soy una niña

The read-aloud uses the device speech voice. Spanish prefers a Latin American voice when one is installed (then any Spanish voice, including es-ES). Meanings are read in English. Pronunciation still varies by device, so a fluent speaker is the best model.

Being a Good Citizen – Infants 2 Values

Aven BrisailLeave a comment

A citizen is a member of a country and a community. A good citizen helps to make the community a better place for everyone.

Rights and responsibilities

Every child has rights – things all children should have. With rights come responsibilities – things we should do.

My rightMy responsibility
to go to school and learnto listen, try my best and respect my teacher
to be safeto follow safety rules and not hurt others
to be treated fairlyto treat others fairly
to playto share and take turns
to a clean environmentto put litter in the bin
to say what I thinkto listen to others too

Making our school and community better

We can share a message with a jingle (a short catchy song), a drama or a movement piece. For example: “Bin it, don’t drop it! Keep our school clean, keep our island green!”

Who represents my area?

People are chosen to speak for our community and look after its needs. Ask a grown-up to help you fill in:

  • My local councillor is: ____________________
  • My Member of Parliament (MP) is: ____________________

Your councillor helps with things like drains, streetlights and community centres. Your MP speaks for your area in Parliament.

Being Responsible – Infants 2 Values

Aven BrisailLeave a comment

Being responsible means people can count on you to do what you should do, even when no one is watching.

Responsible people…

  • keep their promises
  • finish work on time (meet deadlines)
  • look after their belongings: bag, books, lunch kit, water bottle
  • use self-control: wait their turn, calm down when angry
  • do not waste paper, water, food or electricity
  • keep their space tidy and put garbage in the bin
  • help anyone in need

Why do we have rules?

  • Rules keep us safe (walk in the corridor, hold hands crossing the road).
  • Rules are fair to everyone (take turns, line up).
  • Rules help us learn (listen when others speak).
  • At home, rules help families live happily together.

Self-discipline means making yourself do the right thing – like doing homework before playing. It helps you learn, grow and be trusted with more.
