Welcome to Autumn Term 1

Hello Year 2!

Well done to all the Y2 children for having such a great start to the year. 

As always, you can continue to contact us through our class emails which are at the top of the page. Our emails will continue to be monitored. Any urgent messages should be phoned through to the office.

Many thanks,

Mrs Markham and Mrs Plummer

PE

2M will be doing PE  Monday and Thursday.

2P will be doing PE on Monday and Tuesday.

Please can you carefully label your child's jumpers/cardigans with their names. We do try to make sure any misplaced clothing gets back to the right child and we appreciate it when parents ask about any lost property.  

What are we doing this Term?

In History, we will be learning about the Great Fire of London in 1666. The children will ask and answer questions about the fire and use a range of sources to show they know and understand the key features of the event. This will enable the children to gain an awareness of the past and its significance.

DT

Linking to our history, we will be comparing fire engines from the past and now. Using this knowledge, we will design and make our own fire engines.

Please can your child bring in a cardboard box for their fire engine model. A shoebox is ideal.

Phonics

This year we will be focusing on Year 2 Common Exception Words. We will be playing some memory games to see which spellings we can remember. Once we are confident in reading and writing these words, we will practise writing them into sentences. 

Tricky Words

We are focusing on a range of Year 1 and Year 2 tricky words. The children will be reading these words and applying them in their writing. See attached document for the different words.
