• The Proudest Blue by Ibtihaj Muhammad
• The Great Fire of London

Welcome to Year 2

Autumn Term 

Our topic this term is ‘Fire & Ice.’ We will learn about the Great Fire of London and look at the explorations of Sir Ernest Shackleton. This is a great first topic for year 2 and expands their minds into thinking aboutevents of the past and the wider world.

As the year 2 will be sitting their SATs test around June, it is essential that children are practising reading, writing and maths very regularly. Please help your child to do their best by encouraging them to practise at home!

REMINDERS!

PE will take place on a Tuesday and Thursday and will be led by Mrs Hall or Mr Nixon. Please ensure your child has the correct PE kit available in school on these days (information about PE kit can be found in the files below).

Books can be changed each week. We have labelled the front of the reading logs to show which day each child can change their books.  

Homework will be uploaded to google classrooms on Friday and children should hand in their completed homework books in the following Wednesday. 

Spelling tests will take place on Fridays. The spelling lists will be uploaded to google classrooms on Monday so they will have the week to practise. 

Please help us by ensuring that your child has the correct books /kit / work/ equipment in school each day! Thank you!

Snacks are provided, however if your child does not like the fruit and vegetables provided.

Please send in a fruit or vegetable snack daily.

Please also remember that water bottles are essential in class each day!
