Hi everyone,

Welcome back to school for Autumn 1 in the Robins class! :)

This year your teachers will be;

Miss Laflin - Monday - Friday

Mrs Ingate - Monday - Wednesday

Miss Palmer - Thursday & Friday

Welcome to a brand new year of school - Year 2! We are so happy to have you back refreshed and ready for a new year of exploring, learning and fun!

This term we will be exploring a new text called 'Beegu'. Throughout our English lessons, we will be making predictions, exploring main characters, writing captions, descriptions and narratives. We will lead up to writing a diary entry in role.

In Maths, we will learn to represent, estimate, order and compare numbers. We will then progress onto addition and subtraction, including number bonds and fact families.

During our Science lessons, we will be learning about different types of materials, their everyday uses and exploring their properties.

In Geography, we will be learning about physical and human features and study the geography of our surrounding area.

In PE, we will master basic movements including running, jumping, throwing and catching, as well as developing balance, agility and co-ordination in gymnastics.

In DT, we will be developing our sewing skills by learning how to plan and make an alien puppet.

In PSHE we will be learning how to make a caring classroom environment and in RSHE we will be learning the importance of respecting others even when they are different from ourselves.

In Computing we will be creating pictograms; learning how digital data can be stored and organised.

Lastly in RE, we will be exploring Judaism and answering the key question 'Why do Jewish families talk about repentance at New Year?'

We will use our lovely COOL (Choosing Our Own Learning) area to further extend learning (both indoors and outdoors), which provides lots of different opportunities for every child's individual interests - including Writing, Reading, Maths, Computing, Construction, Small World, Fine Motor, Investigation, Art, Sand and Water areas.

Reminders

Please ensure that you child has a water bottle every day and any of their belongings are named.

Please try to read with your child everyday (at least 3x per week) and record any reading sessions in your child's reading journal. This can just be a date and a signature. Your child will be entered into a half termly raffle every time they read 3x a week so please remember to record any reading in their journal to maximise their chances of winning a voucher/book!

Ensure homework is completed each week and the homework book is in your child's book bag to be collected in every Monday.

Please also encourage your child to access TTRockstars 3x per week (for 10 - 15 minutes a time). This will have a great impact on their times tables recall.

PE kit to be worn on Thursday and Friday.

Thank you
