This Term's Topics

  • Topic - We can be heroes!
  • Science - Materials and their properties
  • Maths - Money
  • P.E - Gymnastics
  • Welcome back to school and happy new year to you all! We hope that you had a wonderful Christmas with your families.

    Our new topic is 'We can be heroes'. We will be delving into the exciting world of superheroes and superpowers!

    English
    In English, our writing will link to our 'We can be heroes' topic. Our writing will be inspired from our class text 'Traction Man' by Mini Grey, as well as the 'Supertato' series by Sue Hendra. We will be exploring the features of comic books and writing our own advert for a superhero toy.

    Maths
    In Maths this half term, we will recognise and use symbols for pounds (£) and pence (p) and combine amounts to make a particular value. We will solve simple problems in a practical context involving addition and subtraction. We will calculate mathematical statements for multiplication, division and equal signs.

    Physical Education
    Our PE day this term will continue to be on a Thursday morning, with Action Ants. Please ensure that your child brings their full PE kits (black shorts/tracksuit bottoms, PE t-shirt, trainers or black plimsols, all with names on each item) in a bag at the beginning of term. PE kits should remain in school and will be sent home at the end of each half term. We also use our track to do the daily mile.

    Snack and milk
    Children can bring a piece of fresh fruit to school each day for their morning snack, if they wish. If packaging is required, please send it in a reusable box with your child's name on. All children will also be offered a piece of fruit every afternoon and those who pay for milk using the online service will continue to receive this each morning.

    It is important that all children have their own water bottle in school every day (water only please, no juice 😀).

    Reading:📖
    We read every day in Year 2 and will change our reading books in school each week. Children are heard read individually through guided reading sessions once a week. Being heard read and being read to at home is equally as important, to help develop children's vocabulary and aid their comprehension skills. So, try to read a bedtime story every night too when you can 📚🦉.

    Maths:
    Children will be given their Doodle logins this half term, which will be stuck into inside the front cover of their reading journals. Try to use Doodle as often as you can manage at home. Little and often is best. If you need a reminder of your login details, please speak to us or contact us through the school office.

    Homework:
    At Robert Ferguson we encourage the skills of independence, creative thinking, planning and presentation skills. Each half term, we will send home a homework grid with a choice of activities linked to our topic for your child to complete. If you need any help with homework or have any questions you can email us or speak to your teacher. When your homework is complete, bring it into school so we can celebrate your amazing work and effort! Homework can also be emailed to the school office.
