Hello and welcome back to spring term, 

Our topic in Spring 1 will be life on water. In English we will be starting to look at non-fiction writing and finding out lots of information on turtles and whales. We will be using this information to write our own mini fact files on the sea creatures. 

In guided reading we will be focusing on whole class reading we will listen to the teacher read the book at the start of the week then we will be doing lots of paired reading and building our comprehension skills.

In maths we are finishing off our addition and subtraction block before we will be moving onto multiplication and division. Please help your child practise their 2s, 5s and 10 times tables at home. 

In Geography we will be learning all about the worlds oceans and continents. In RE we will be looking at Good News stories from the New Testament. In ICT we will be looking at using Word and the internet for research. 

We will continue to send home two reading books on a Monday and politely request these come back in on a Friday so we can ensure your child has a reading book the following week. We will be uploading homework and spellings on our class page under the relevant heading. Please check these regularly. 

In the event of our bubble closing we will be using Starz to communicate with you and your child. Please find the link below to use. Your child has a login which is stuck into their green reading record. Any problems please contact me. 

Kind regards, 

Year 2 team.
