Elm Class
Teacher: Mr S Tilsley
PE days for Autumn 1: Monday and Thursday
Year 2 Classroom
This half term, our main topic will be ‘The Great Fire of London’. Within the curriculum this half term we will also be studying materials in Science and ‘The Creation Story’ in RE. In English the children will be learning to retell the story ‘Peter and the Wolf’ and create their own stories with a similar structure.
Homework will be handed out every Friday and should be completed and returned by Wednesday. Homework tasks are designed to reinforce what we have been learning in class and provide additional practice.
PE will take place on Monday and Thursday. The lessons will focus on fitness and small apparatus. Please ensure your child comes to school in their PE kit, a plain tracksuit for colder days and appropriate footwear. Earrings should always be removed on PE days.
Regular reading at home is vital to your child’s progress. Please encourage children to read every day and record this in their reading record. We check reading records weekly every Monday, and any support you provide at home makes a significant difference. An update on pupil progress will be provided through parent consultations the week beginning the 13th October.
