Year 2 - Owls

Hello and welcome to Owl Class!

We are super excited to have you all back at school and we can't wait to see you all on Thursday. We hope you are all looking forward to starting Year 2 and that you have had a lovely summer. 

In school for the first 2 weeks of term all our learning will be centred around our class bird and we have lots of fun activities planned to help you all settle back into school and into your new class. We have taken some photos of your new class which are attached below. 

Following on from this our topic for the remaining half term is titled 'What can we do with all our rubbish?'. This is a science focused topic where we will be exploring materials and their properties. As we are unable to share resources between children, please could you provide your child with their own carrier bag of recycled items for them to use in school for junk modelling. For example small items such as plastic wrappers, sweet wrappers, crisp packets, bottle tops, bubble wrap, cardboard boxes, old CDs/DVDs would be fantastic. 

Alongside our topic we will also be completing daily phonics, writing and number sessions. We will also be doing outdoor PE weekly, further details of PE days will follow. Reading books will be sent home on a Monday for all children and then we will collect all reading books in on a Thursday to allow them to stand untouched for 72 hours before sending different books home. 

As always if you have any questions or concerns please do not hesitate to contact a member of the Year 2 team. 

See you soon,

Miss Cotton and Mrs Smith
