Half Term Overview
Please see the link below to a more detailed overview as to what your child can expect to be getting up to this half term.
Our literacy learning will be based around Amy Johnson. We will also be exploring a range of non-fiction texts and resources surrounding our topic focus for this term, The History of Flight. This half-term we have some super exciting trips to look forward to including the Science Musuem and the BrightSparks concert at The Royal Festival Hall.
Please Note:
Year 2's PE days are Monday (outdoor) and Wednesday (indoor).
Please see below for an example class timetable of the school day.
Reading:
As a school we are now using The Little Wandle Phonics Programme to support with reading and writing.
Home reading books will be changed or checked twice a week. Please make sure you are reading with your child every day for at least 15 minutes. They will have read the book in class to build their comprehension and prosody which they can then build on at home. We are also providing sharing books for your child to help grow their vocabulary and to expose them to a range of sentence structures whilst encouraging a love of reading! For guidelines on the correct pronunciation of sounds to support your child's reading please see this link.
Mathematics Games:
Mathematics games will be given out on a Friday and should be returned the following Tuesday. All the games provided are age appropriate and are a fun way to support your child's fluency.
Many thanks,
Miss Ives & Miss Finch
