Clumber Class

Welcome to Clumber class!
Year 2

Our topic for this half-term is:

Exploration and Journeys

Curriculum Overview:

We have got a very exciting half-term planned! We will be:

Exploring the Galapagos Islands and other 'new lands' in geography
Discovering more about significant individuals in history, such as Leonardo da Vinci, Sir Edmund Hillary and Neil Armstrong
Thinking about Jesus' journeys in RE as well as ourselves and our life journeys so far in PSHCE
Writing letters and instructional texts in literacy, before moving on to poetry and stories by Julia Donaldson
Investigating plants in science
Enjoying lots of surprises in expressive arts (music, art and design technology)

Important Information:

PE takes place on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings; however, we ask that PE kits are on school throughout the week.
Please read aloud to a grown-up at least three times a week, and record it your reading diary on the appropriate page, in order to achieve a sticker for your Reading Rangers bookmark. Reading diaries will be checked on a Monday.
Homework is set on a Wednesday and due the following Monday.
Spellings will be tested on Monday and Big Write will take place on Tuesday - please make sure that you are always well-prepared!

Home-School Communication:

To enable our children to grow from little acorns into great oaks, home-school relations are very important. If you have any questions or concerns at all, no matter how 'small', please feel free to drop me a note at the beginning of the school day, to speak with me at home time, or to arrange a convenient time for a longer conversation.

Thank you very much for your continued support.
