I’m looking forward to an exciting year with you all covering lots of interesting topics along the way. We are going to work hard but have lots of fun along the way.

We are going to look at a range of books which cover lots of different themes, such as animals, rivers, mysterious creatures and inventions. In Maths, we are going to be building on your knowledge from Year 1 and learning new strategies to help you answer questions and solve problems.

Please look at our curriculum overview to find out what interesting topics we are covering this term. They might include discovering more about the United Kingdom in Geography, exploring different habitats to find out which animals live there in Science, making music on the iPads, developing new Art skills such as painting and printing, or making your very own cushion in DT.

PE is Tuesday and Friday every week.

Forest School is Wednesday every week. Please keep an eye on the weather and ensure your child has appropriate clothing / footwear.

Daily reading at home is expected. Remember, you can earn a raffle ticket for every time you read to be in with a chance of winning a prize at the end of term.

Homework will be posted on Microsoft Teams on a Friday. Please return your homework on Teams by the following Thursday. Each week there will be a spelling / phonics task and a Maths task for you to complete.

Regular practice on Numbots and TT Rockstars is also expected to develop your speed and accuracy for working out calculations.
