Class 2
School P.E. days
This term we will be doing Forest School every Wednesday afternoon. Children come to school in their Forest School clothes and spend the day in them. All children are required to wear trousers and long sleeved tops for Forest School along with appropriate footwear. It is worth checking the weather each week and making sure children have appropriate clothing as needed such as waterproofs, sun hats, sun cream etc.
Welcome to Class 2
A very warm welcome to all our Year 2 children and families! We are delighted to begin this exciting new school year together. Year 2 is a wonderful year of learning, growing in confidence and becoming increasingly independent. We have lots of exciting learning opportunities planned, where the children will be encouraged to ask questions, explore new ideas and develop their skills across the curriculum. We look forward to working closely with you throughout the year and creating a happy, supportive and nurturing environment where every child can flourish. We hope you enjoy sharing in all the wonderful experiences and achievements that Year 2 has to offer!
Autumn term the children will be learning about Christopher Columbus in English and History, they will be exploring materials in Science, which will result in the children design boats that could travel across the ocean. Children will revisit the story of Creation, developing their understanding and personal reflection.
Homework
Each week homework will be shared on Class Dojo.
Reading
We ask that children read at least 4 times a week for about 15 minutes each time. Reading regularly helps children with spelling, imagination and understanding. When your child reads please record this in their reading record.
Spellings
Each week spellings will be sent home for the week. These will be based on our phonics from the week.
Numbots
Numbots logins will be in the children's reading records. Regular practice will help with addition and subtraction. We recommend 25 minutes a week split into several short sessions.
Optional Maths
Children can take home maths practice sheets if they would like extra work linked to what we have been learning in class.
E-safety advice
Here are some links to games for children to help them understand e-safety and parental guidance around this topic.
