Welcome to Year Two!

September 2024

Hi Everyone!

In our class we have myself, Miss Pells and I teach the children on a Monday - Thursday. We also have Mrs Flatt, our classroom LSA and she teaches the children on a Friday when I'm not in school. Alongside us, we also have some more lovely LSAs to help with the children's learning: Mrs Ellmer, Mrs Sitton, Mrs Davis and Miss Cooper.

PE

In addition to this, we are super lucky to have our PE taught by Mr Boulton this year.

Our PE Days are: Monday & Thursday

Spellings: The children are given individual spellings to learn on a Monday and these should be practised at home throughout the week. The children will then have a quick quiz to see if they can remember them the following Monday. 

Wordwalls: The children will come home with new sight words that they should learn to read. These are the words that they need to just know without sounding out. Please help them to practise these and give them a little tick if they remember what it says without any help. 

Reading: Reading is super important and we like the children to read at home at least three times a week - if they do, they get a treat from our super exciting 'dippy bag'. 

Our Autumn Term Topic

Our Topic this term is 'London's Burning'! It's an amazing topic and one of my most favourite topics to teach! In our Geography lessons, we will look  at the location of London and learn about our country and continent, as well as the other continents across the world.

In History, we will learn all about London and compare it today to the past. We will learn all about the events of the Great Fire of London and also the Great Plague - which children always love. 

In Literacy, we will do work around a story which is set around the time of the Great Fire of London and write non-fiction texts based on this too. 

There's so much to learn!

Keep an eye out for some of our work as the term goes on.
