Summer Term- Part 1
Read on to find out about some of the exciting learning and activities planned for the first half of Summer Term. This half term the Year 2 team will be Mrs Harrison, Miss Jones and Miss Harris. Miss Dynes will also be returning to complete her final teaching placement with us.
In English we will be reading a very exciting new text and you might just recognise the main character once we start reading! The tale may be familiar but this story has a twist as well as a very important message about conservation and caring for our world. We will be learning how to write a persuasive letter to help to persuade the characters in the story to save the trees. In Guided Reading we will venture into the world of Roald Dahl, reading Fantastic Mr Fox.
In Maths we will be starting work on Fractions before moving on to 2D and 3D shapes.
In Science we will be learning about Changing Shape and in RE we will be starting to learn about the religion of Judaism and exploring what do Jews believe about God.
In the Wider Curriculum we will be looking at the Geography of our school and learning about the main features of maps in our topic Map Makers.
We will be having a go at making some moving vehicles as part of our Design Technology work and exploring Improvisation in our Music sessions.
We will continue to add to our class toolbox with strategies to help us when looking at the Zones of Regulation.

PE
Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on Mondays and Fridays. Hair should be tied back and jewellery should be removed for PE lessons. If ears are newly pierced, children must be sent to school with tape over their earrings for safety.
Hot Dinners and Snack
Please ensure hot dinner and snack choices are completed using the online system by Sunday Evening. Alternatively, children can bring in their own packed lunch (nut free) if they wish to do so. Children should be able to access the items in their lunchboxes themselves - opening packaging, small tubs etc.
Children in Year 2 are provided with free fruit each day. The type of fruit varies each day and we do not know ahead of time what will be provided. Your child is welcome to bring in a piece of fruit from home if they would prefer. Children also have the opportunity to have a piece of toast instead of fruit. The cost of this is 25p per day (£1.25 per week). To be paid online
Children should to bring their full water bottles in daily. We are a healthy school so please fill water bottles with water only.
Medication
If your children needs to take medication during the school day, please complete a form at the school office. Medication sent into school should be clearly labelled with the pupils name, dosage and storage requirements. Medication must be given to a member of staff by the adult responsible for the child. If your child needs an inhaler or epipen in school, please ensure this is sent into school and again handed over to the class teacher. Please make a note of the expiry date before sending into school and ensure that a replacement is sent into school in advance of the expiry date.
