P1/2N&G– TERM 1 OVERVIEWDear Parent/Carer,

Please find below an overview of the work we will carry out in P1/2 this term. Some children may not be developmentally ready to work on the programme for their age and stage but will be revisiting and reinforcing key concepts.

I hope the information is useful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or queries.

There will be opportunities for you to visit and work with your child this term – dates to be arranged.

Yours faithfully

Mrs Maree Nairn & Mrs Diane Gilchrist
