Autumn Term- Part 2

Welcome back to school! We hope you’ve enjoyed a well-deserved break and you are feeling ready for another busy and exciting half-term!

In English, we will be starting our new book which will be revealed in Week 1! There is a small clue in the picture above! We will also begin our new text in Shared Reading. This lovely book explores eight animal habitats to see the extraordinary natural stories that happen above and below the surface.

In Maths, we will be completing ‘Addition and Subtraction’ mainly focusing on subtraction and then we will move onto ‘Multiplication and Division’. We will be introducing you to ‘Numbots’ this half term so that you can practise your maths fluency at home.

We will be carrying on with our learning about Judaism in RE exploring how Jewish people live their faith through practices and celebrations and we will be starting a new project in Computing which is about Information Technology all around us. In Science, we will be looking at ‘Living Things’ and in History, we will be learning about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.  

In the wider curriculum we will be learning how to do different types of stitch to make a Christmas puppet. We will begin our second My Happy Mind unit called, ‘Celebrate’ and we will continue to add to our class toolbox with strategies to help us when looking at the Zones of Regulation.

PE lessons will take place on Mondays (AmaSing) and Fridays (Gymnastics) so please come to school dressed in your PE kits. Finally, we will also be practising our Christmas play! We will be doing lots of rehearsals and singing practice and the AmaSing team will be teaching you how to dance and perform the songs to show your families at the end of term.

A member of staff will be welcoming Year 1 and Year 2 in the mornings so they will be able to take messages at drop off.

If your messsage is urgent, please contact the school office.  

What will my child need each day?

Children in Year 2 will need their book bag in school with them each day. We only have a small area to store bags outside the Year 2 classroom so book bags are the correct size for the space we have. Children need to have their reading book in school with them each day. They also need to remember to bring a water bottle and a coat as children do go outside when raining. 

PE

Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on Mondays and Fridays in Autumn 2. 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.
