Clubs and trips

Clubs are up and running for this term.

There is a great selection to choose from both after school and during lunchtime.

Letters have been sent home with the children.

Some clubs do have a small cost to cover expenses so be sure to check.

Remember to bring back all permission slips for our trip to the Partnership centre please as soon as possible.

There is no charge for this trip.
The children will be back at school in time for lunch so there is no need to send in any packed lunches.

Global Curriculum

Year 2 are thinking about how other people live around the world. This includes different cultures, religious beliefs and every day life.

Any pictures or objects that the children could bring in to school to share their experiences would be greatly appreciated.

maths

In maths this term we are learning about place value, tens and units and how to use a 100 square to help us.
We are also focusing on the 2, 5 and 10 x tables.
If you could help your child at home with their tables that would be really appreciated.

I will be sending you a link to Education City shortly, where you can find lots of helpful ideas to support your child.

Literacy

We have a writing room, reading corner and literacy area in the classroom where the children can enjoy and share their ideas and learning.
This term we are writing stories based on familiar settings and learning how to follow, read and write instructions.

It would help your child with their literacy work if you could find reasons for them to write.
This could include shopping lists, thank you letters, e-mails, texts or stories.
When they do write they need to use a pencil and not a pen and use correctly formed letters. If you would like a copy of the script we use at school I would be more than happy to get you one.

Castles.

This half term year 2 are learning all about castles.

We will be visiting Kenilworth Castle on 27/9/11. Letters have already been sent home with your child. Please return the permission slip and payment as soon as possible to Mrs. Pilling.

Read Write Inc.

Every morning the children take part in read, write inc sessions which support their reading and spelling
