Welcome to Class 2! 

Croeso i dosbarth dau!

Our current topic is:

ANIMAL NATURE

During this half term, we shall be using the outdoors to explore the changing seasons. We will look for signs of Autumn, learn about the months of the year, seasons, animals and their habitats and hibernation. We will read lots of Autumn themed books, re-tell stories and practise writing descriptions and poems. In Maths, we will revise place value, tens and ones, count and order numbers and collect and record data. We will learn how to record our work on Seesaw and Google Classroom and use the iPads for research. 

HOMEWORK

Homework is set on Google Classroom every Wednesday, to be returned by the following Monday. Tasks will be set after discussion with the pupils and work should be recorded in the green exercise books provided. Should you experience difficulties with Google Classroom / homework, please contact the school.

READING

Reading books will be sent home weekly. Please encourage your child to develop good reading habits by reading regularly at home. Whilst reading, ask questions about the story / characters to develop comprehension skills. Pupils should read a variety of texts including fiction and non-fiction, and joining the local library will offer a wider range of books. 

We are currently using Oxford Reading Buddy, a digital reading service, to provide a selection of books in order to encourage reading habits. Sign-in cards have been sent home and the site can be accessed on most devices. As well as reading books, the site develops comprehension skills through fun quizzes and offers badges/rewards on completion. Once again, please use this website to promote wider reading at home.

Our P.E day is:

Tuesday  -  OUTDOORS

Outdoor kit consists of tracksuit bottoms / leggings, t-shirt / jumper and trainers.

Earrings are not permitted to be worn for PE sessions and must be removed by the pupil or before coming to school.

Long hair should be tied back and all hair accessories removed.

We participate in the Daily Mile where we run approximately 1 mile come rain or shine!
