Miss Froggatt and Mrs Richards help us to learn in Class 2.

Arrive between 8:35am -8:45am

Hometime: 3:15pm

In science this half term, our topic is animals and their habitats (part 1). The children will be identifying and sorting things according to whether they are living, dead, alive and whether something has ever been alive. They will be able to define the word ‘habitat’ and explain that most living things live in habitats that they are suited to. Children will learn to respect the local environment. They will be able to identify patterns in living things and their habitats including some links between plants and animals. They will demonstrate their enquiring minds through asking and answering questions relating to plants and animals in different local habitats within our community

Summer 1

The explorers

In History this half term we will be learning about why humans explore. We will be looking at famous explorers and begin to question the positive and negative consequences of exploration.

Homework & Reminders

Spellings

These will be given out on Monday for the children to learn at home to be tested in school the following Friday. The spellings for the entire term are at the front of your child's reading diary.

Learning Logs

Learning Logs are given out on Fridays and are to be handed in the following Wednesday.  It is a creative way for the children to present their learning from what they have done in class or research about the next topic.

Reading

Ideally, children should read a wide range of books/texts whenever possible.  Even 5 minutes a day can make a difference!  New reading books are given out on Fridays and need to be brought in everyday.  Most of the books the children bring home are the ones they have been practising during our daily Read Write Inc phonic sessions, plus one which is similar and focuses on the same theme.  Reading diaries need to be signed at least 3 times a week to show you have read with your child.

P.E.

P.E. kits need to be brought in every Monday and the children will return home wearing their kits on a Monday after their PE lesson with Coach Jake.

Parents and carers, thank you for all your support with all this. Please read the Friday Note for weekly updates.
