Dear Parents and Carers
Thank you to everyone who came to Sports Day yesterday. The children had a great time, and it was lovely to see them support and encourage one another.
Our topic this half term is ‘Town Mouse, Country Mouse.’ The key areas of learning will be:
1. Science – Living things and their habitats.
2. Geography – The differences between town/city life and rural life.
3. Art and Design – Design and create model habitats and food chains; Learn about the digital artist Slinkachu.
In Literacy we will be reading the fable ‘Town Mouse, Country Mouse’, and we will write a report about nocturnal animals.
We will be swimming in PE this half term. Our swimming sessions will be Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning. Please ensure your child has their full swimming kit in school on these days. The main purpose of swimming in Year 2 is to develop your child’s water confidence and to encourage different arm and leg actions to propel themselves through the water, at first upright and then horizontal, using swimming aids and support.
Please remember that it is our Class Assembly on Wednesday 11th June at 2.00pm in the hall. After assembly the children will invite you back to the classroom so that they can talk about their learning and share some of their work with you. We hope you will be able to come!
Please continue to read regularly with your child at home and remember to record this in the reading diary. In addition to their school book, it would really help us to know which books they read for personal enjoyment at home so please record those in the diary. Also, please remember to encourage your child to complete the reading activities.
Your child has homework to complete this week. Please support and encourage your child to complete homework activities and check that your child’s homework book is brought to school each week. Homework is given out on Friday and needs to be returned to school the following Wednesday. Thank you!
Please remember to visit the class blog on the school website where you will find the weekly spelling lists as well as photographs and fun information about what your child gets up to in class.
