Mrs Fallows, Mrs Entwistle and Miss Newsome

Welcome to the second term of Autumn.  We have lots of exciting things planned in the run-up to Christmas.

Important

Please make sure children come to school in their PE kits on Tuesday and Friday.

Reading – Please hear your child read every day. Sign their reading record book so you can share their progress with me.

Times Table Rockstars (y2) – The Times Tables Rockstar app is a fun way for your child to learn and remember their times tables. Please support your child to learn their tables by practising for 5 minutes each day. 

Homework – Please practise reading, spelling and Times Tables with your child.  Complete one activity a week.  Please bring the homework book on Wednesday so that I can see the wonderful work you have been doing.

Below is a short insight into some of the things we will be learning this half-term.

In English, we will  be reading the book Nibbles the Book Monster and writing a diary entry in the first person  based on Nibbles’ adventures in the story.

In Maths, we will be learning about addition and subtraction, place value and shape.

In Religious Education,  the children will continue to learn about creation and stories from the Bible.

In Science, the children will be learning about animals. We will look at the structure of birds, mammals, fish, reptiles and amphibians.

In History, we will continue to learn about how we shop and how it has changed over the years.

In Geography, we will continue to learn about our local area. We will learn about how to identify human and physical features of our area on a map.

In Physical Education, the children will learn ball skills – throwing and catching.

Please find below our half-term curriculum plan.

Thank you, 

Mrs Fallows
