Summer Term Week 1
Mr. Stephens - 20 Apr 2023
Welcome back to the Summer term and all the children's final term in Year 2! This half term our topic is called 'Coastline' and is all about the miles of coast of the UK. This is a Geography focused topic.
Our newsletter and homework ideas can be found in a seperate article.
English
This week we have looked at what makes a good persuasive letter, and have revised the following grammatical features to help us write our letter next week:
- Questions, Statements, Commands and Exclamations
- Writing in the correct tense
- Using commas in a list.
Maths
We are finishing off our block based on Volume, Capacity and Temperature. We will be beginning our new block based on fractions next week.
Religion
Just in time for Eid al-Fitr, we have begun our new topic based on Islam. So far we have studied the Muslim beliefs about Allah and his final prophet.
Geography
For our first lesson we studied what 'Human' and 'Physical' geographical features are and sorted images of features into these two groups.
Notices
- As we are now in the Summer term, children should be wearing their Summer uniforms.
- Please ensure that all items of clothing are clearly labelled with your child's name. We have increasing numbers of children losing items of clothing and looking for them will no longer be done by staff. It will be your child's responsibility to locate missing items of clothing outside of lesson time.
- PE will still be on Thursday afternoons this term, so please ensure your child is wearing their PE kit to school on this day.
- Times Table Rockstars challenges have been set for every child (2, 5 and 10 times tables). It is expected that children log in each week several times and practise. Your child's login information is stuck in their reading record.
