Mrs Fallows, Mrs Entwistle and Miss Newsome

I hope you had a fantastic Christmas and a lovely New Year.

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 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.

Forest School is on a four-weekly cycle for each class in the school. This term, our first session is Monday 5th January, our second session is on Monday February 2nd . Now the weather has gone cold and wet, please can you make sure the children come to school in willies and warm clothes and a coat as they will be learning outside. Please bring their change of uniform in their bag.

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 a lion inside. They will learn lots of sriting skills as we progress with this book and the outcome of their writing is to write a story about a small animal (mouse) who befriends a large animal in the African savannah.

In Maths, we will be learning about addition and subtraction, and then move on to multiplication and division.

In Religious Education,  the children will learn about Jesus's early life and his movement from Jerusalem to Galilee.

In Science, the children will be learning how different materials can change shape and what properties these materials have.

In History, we begin a new exciting topic on the Great Fire of London, how it began and how it spread.

In Geography, we will learn about the United Kingdom and its four countries and what different physical and human features they have.

In Physical Education, the children will learn gymnastics,  including balancing and performing different shapes.

Please find below our half-term curriculum plan.

Thank you, 

Mrs Fallows
