Class 2

Welcome to Class 2!

Teacher: Mrs Brana

Teaching assistant:  Mrs Owens

P.E. is on a Wednesday and a Friday. Please make sure that your child has the correct kit in school.

Reading bags - bring them in every day as there are many adults in school who hear children read.

Your child would benefit from learning their x2, x5 and x10 tables at home. Beat That tests are fortnightly on Fridays. 

PIP (personal interest projects) can be brought in to class to show any day of the week.

Spelling tests are on Friday and they will then bring their new word lists home.

Spring Term 2020

Our Topic is Vets and Pets and Down on the Farm.

Mr Rees from the music company UPBEAT MUSIC is coming in every Monday to teach us how to play Samba drums.

We will be learning about what animals need to survive, where animals live and what they eat, and how to look after our pets. We will also learn about the life cycles of animals.

We will be writing poems, traditional stories and reading stories by the same author. How many sides does a heptagon have? Come in to class 2 and read our shape fact files. We have also used Mix on Hwb to create ebooks all about shapes.

All of this and so much more. Phew, what a busy term.

Where are we going to find the time to visit Pets at Home and Green Meadow farm?

Pets at Home trip for class 2 is the Friday 24th January

Green Meadow Farm trip is the Tuesday 3rd March.
