Dear Parents/Carers,

The children have returned to school fresh and ready for some more fun learning in Year 2.

Over the next 6 weeks, the children will be completing the unit of work called ‘Live and Let Live’ then they will be starting the unit of work called The Magic Toy Maker’ topic from the IPC. This unit of work is part of the International Primary Curriculum. In this topic we will be learning about the history of toys and the science behind how they work or how they are made.

In a couple of weeks we will be asking you if you have any old toys that you or your child’s grandparents are willing to bring in, they will become part of a classroom display. The children will also be coming home with a questionnaire to interview a parent or grandparent about the toys and games played with in the past.

 

We are hoping to organise a trip to look at toys and games of the past, details to follow soon.

 

Reading is vital and we encourage you to read with your child daily. Please record all of your child’s reading in their Home/School Diary. Reading 4 or more times a week is rewarded with a dojo. The children will continue to access Accelerated reading quizzes. The children will visit the school library each week and may choose a book to take home to read. Please send library books to school on a Monday for changing.
 

Outdoor PE is on Thursday mornings, taught by Ryan. Indoor PE is on Friday mornings.

The children will need:

· White or red T-shirt

· Black shorts or jogging bottoms

· Black hoody or tracksuit jacket

· Trainers suitable for outdoor use in cold weather
(Slogans or football club affiliations are not permitted)

· Earrings should not be worn on PE days or they should be removed or taped by the child before the lesson. Long hair should be tied back.

 

Forest School learning will continue to take place on a Tuesday afternoon, each week alternating between classes. We kindly ask that you send your child to school with their Forest School kits (waterproofs) and wellington boots this week in readiness. The conditions could still be wet, cold and muddy this term so please ensure they have the appropriate clothing for this activity.

 

If you have any comments or questions about your child’s learning, please get in touch. We look forward to working with you and your child.

Kind regards,

The Year 2 Team
