Welcome to the Spring term!
Our new topic is called 'Far from home' and we will be learning all about the explorer Ernest Shackleton. This will build on our work from last half term, as we explore the wonders of Antarctica.
In English, our class texts are Shackleton's Journey by William Grill and Antarctica by Mario Cuesta Hernando.
We will also be carrying out practical work in both Science and DT, as we investigate different food groups and make our own healthy wraps. We can't wait to taste the different ingredients!
In Maths, we are learning all about money. This will involve a trip to the village shop to spend some real money. Our new KIRFs (key instant recall facts) are multiplication and division calculations for the 5 and 10 x tables (e.g. 5 x 3 =, 10 x 6 =, 25 ÷ 5 =, 70 ÷ 10=). TT Rockstars and the 1-minute maths app are both great ways to rehearse these at home.
Class routines remain unchanged (reading diaries in everyday, spelling books on Friday, PE kits on Thursday and Friday).
Thank you for all your continued support. We look forward to a happy and productive term in Year 2.
