Year 1/Year 2 Robins

Welcome to Robins Class - Year 2

This half term our History topic is “The Great Fire of London.” We will be developing our enquiry skills by asking the question, “Why do we call it the Great Fire of London?” The local fire brigade will be coming to visit us and teach us about fire safety.

In Maths we will be focussing on addition and subtraction and geometry and shape. Gymnastics will be the focus of our PE where we will be learning to balance on different body parts and create our own movement sequences.

Year 2 will continue to learn the cornet in music lessons, culminating in a Christmas concert. Year 1 will be singing and preparing for the Year 1 nativity.

In art we will be colour mixing, creating tints and tones and using these skills to complement our other learning.

We are excited to be visiting the cinema on December the 19^th as a Christmas treat to watch a seasonal film. Internet Safety will again be a focus of our computing lessons, with online relationships and reputation forming the basis of these very important lessons.  

Homework books will be sent home every Wednesday.

Please return them to school the following Monday.

Please make sure you listen to your child read as often as possible- at least 4 times weekly. Books will be changed every 3 days during Read, Write, Inc lessons. Children in the comprehension groups will change their chapter books in class as necessary.

Pupils will be given spellings in their homework books at the beginning of each half term. There will be a small spelling test each week.

Tapestry will be used when appropriate for us to share practical learning, special events, homework and important class messages. Please make sure you check the app regularly.

PE days are Monday and Thursday.

Please make sure your PE kit is named and kept in school at all times. We will send kits home at the end of every half term to be washed.

Thank you for your continued support
