Welcome to Italy Class
Welcome to Italy Class!
We are an awesome class of Year 2 children. Our class teachers are Mrs Leatherland and Miss Richardson and our teaching assistants are Mrs Powley and Mrs Roffe.
P.E
P.E. is on Mondays and Fridays. Please ensure your child is dressed in the full and appropriate outdoor P.E. kit on these days, including our federation hoodies. Children with long hair should have their hair tied up, and any watches or jewellery (including earrings) need to be removed.
Homework
Homework is sent out every Friday and is due back in school on the following Wednesday.
Reading
Please ensure your child reads at home daily (either independently or adult-led), as this is vital for developing their comprehension skills, widening their vocabulary and supporting them with their writing. Children on RWI will bring 2 RWI books home. The paper book will be the storybook they are reading in their RWI sessions. The second book is a story that is linked to one of the books they have read in their RWI sessions. These books will be changed every 3 days. It is really important for children to re-read stories. Not only does this help with their fluency, but also enables them to develop a stronger understanding of the story. Your child will also bring home a love for reading book, which they can share with you at home. If they choose a longer book, they can read a few pages each night (or you can read it to them).
Children will gain a ticket for our reading raffle for each day they read at home. The more tickets they have, the better their chance of winning a book in our raffle at the end of term.
Autumn Term Topic
Geography – Our school and local area
In geography this term we are going to use maps and aerial photographs to study our local area. We are going to consider if landmarks and notable features are physical or human. We will create our own maps and use simple compass directions and locational and directional language to describe the location of features and routes.
History – The Great Fire of London
In history this term we are learning about the great fire of London. We will start by learning about what life was like in 1666, then we will learn what happened during the Great Fire of London. We will begin to explain why the fire spread so quickly, and finally understand how we find out about the past and how the event is remembered today.
