Dear Parents/Carers,

It‘s great to see the children at school again, they have settled back in well and we are looking forward to some great learning in their final term of Year 2.

 

Next week the children will be starting their work on traditional tales in literacy by looking in depth at the character traits of the three pigs and the wolf.  

In maths the children will be focusing on missing number sums.   20 – __ = 15,  ___ – 5 = 15,   20 – 5 = ____ , 20 ___ 5 = 15

 

Rainbow Maths Targets

As last term was so short we will continue with the doubling and halving targets for a few weeks and then send new targets later in the term; these will focus on addition and subtraction.  Please continue to help your child to practise their mental recall of doubles and halves.

Swimming

Just a reminder that swimming lessons have now started (Mrs Ash’s and Mrs Page’s class- Friday pm, and Mrs Ashworth’s class – Thursdays am). Please ensure your child brings their swim suit, towel and named swimming cap on these days.  The children will not need their PE kit on these days now.

Topic

We will soon be starting our new topic of Pirates which involves lots of art and geography with co-ordinates and treasure hunting map work!

As part of this topic the children will be exploring the beach at Moulin Huet and we’d be very grateful for volunteers to accompany the children on these visits.  Please let your child’s class teacher know as soon as possible if you are able to help…

Mrs Ashworth’s Class  (and half of Miss Geall’s class) – Friday 11th May am

Mrs Ash’s Class (and half of Miss Geall’s Class) – Thursday 10th May am

If you have any small plastic bottles at home please do send them in – children will be using them to write a secret message-in-a-bottle code in the discovery zone.

 

Many thanks for your continued support

The Year 2 team
