PE
PE is on a Thursday this half term.
The children will need to come into school in their PE kit and please remove any earrings at home. Our PE kit is black shorts and a white T-Shirt.
English
This term, we have been reading A River by Marc Martin. The story takes us on a beautiful journey along a river, from the city to the sea. We explored the colourful illustrations and talked about the different places, people and animals we might see along the way. We also used the book to inspire our own artwork and writing about rivers and journeys.
Phonics
In Year 2, children take part in Read Write Inc, a structured phonics programme that helps them become confident and fluent readers. Through daily lessons, pupils practice reading sounds, blending words and improving their spelling and writing skills. The programme builds speed, accuracy and comprehension, supporting children to develop a love of reading.

Science
In Science this term, we have been learning about different materials and their properties. We explored materials such as wood, plastic, metal, glass and fabric, and discussed what they are used for. We carried out investigations to find out which materials were the most suitable for different purposes and explained our findings.
