Hello and welcome to Class 7,

Welcome back! We hope you have had a wonderful summer break.  We are looking forward to an exciting Autumn Term in Year 2.

This term we will be focusing on place value within maths and learning what each digit in a number means. We will be working hard on addition and subtraction and also learning our 2x, 5x and 10x times tables so the children can be more confident with their recall facts. 

Your child will have weekly spellings. We ask that you practise them with the children and read with them at home. It is important to read as much as possible and we ask that parents listen to their children read and help develop a love of books. When you listen to your children read, this should be recorded in their Home School Diary and each read will count towards a reading prize! 

In English, we will be following our new Read Write Inc Scheme, the children will have the opportunity to develop and embed their phonic skills. During their Read Write Inc lessons the children will have opportunities to read stories, poems and non-fiction texts and carry out different genres of writing.

During the afternoons, our topic for the first half of the Autumn Term will be Amazing Africa. We will be learning all about where Africa is, what animals are found in Africa and much more!

Class 7 will have PE Wednesday morning and Thursday afternoon. It is important that the children have their Ghyllgrove PE kits at school so that they can join in with the sessions.  Our PE kit is a white t-shirt with red shorts and trainers. Children with long hair must have their hair tied back and no jewellery can be worn during P.E. Please ensure the children have their winter PE kits in school during this term. 

Look out for more information on the curriculum that we will be studying over the course of the term in order to support your child as much as possible. Also, look out for any letters sent home and emails regarding events in school.

Finally, we would like to remind all families to label your child’s clothing and equipment.  This includes PE Kit, School Uniform, Coats and lunch boxes.  All items must have your child’s name and class number.  Lastly, may we remind you that we are a healthy school, we do ask the children have only water in the classrooms.

Thank you and we are looking forward to working with you and your children in Year 2.

Miss Wilkins
