Good afternoon to all, where is the time going?

In English, the children have started to plan their explanation text on their chosen monster and next week they will write their explanation text including conjunctions, suffixes, adjectives and commas.

In maths, the children have finished their topic on position and direction and next week we will be carrying out problem solving activities to consolidate all topics.

In science, the children will describe how animals obtain their food from plants and other animals, using the food chain.

In PSHE, we will be discussing the difference between girls and boys bodies. The children will learn the correct vocabulary for the body parts.

On Wednesday we are going on our school trip with Year 5 to Frinton-on-Sea. The children will need to arrive at school for 8.30 am and we aim to return at roughly 4.30pm. The children will need a packed lunch and bottle of water with them. They will need to be wearing sun cream for the day, and can be sent with additional sun cream if the weather requires it. They must also be dressed for the weather, so please send them in uniform, but with the additional clothing (such as raincoats/sunhats etc.) appropriate for the weather that is forecast at the time. Please also provide a towel for your child to use, subject to weather for paddling with an adult.

On Thursday it is transition day and the children will visit their new teacher in Year 3.

Spellings will be practised in class which will be all the common exception words for Year 2.

Have a great weekend and I hope the sun comes out!

From the Year 2 team.
