Year 2 2020 - 2021

Welcome to Class Two! 

Hello everyone! 

The children are making a fabulous start to the school year and they are really impressing us!  We are now working on our first topic all about castles.  Thank you very much for sending photos of castles you have visted, please keep them coming!  We wil focus on Beeston Castle (near Chester) and research other castles that the children have visited with their families.  They will design the page for a non-fiction book all about castles, learn how to become a knight and write stories set in castles!  We will also look in Science at the materials and building styles used to build the castles and in Art make paintings inspired by the work of JMW Turner!  So much for them to be excited about!

I will be teaching the class everyday except a Wednesday when Mrs Brown will be in school.  Mrs Dolman our teaching assistant will be in class every morning to ensure continuity.  We are also very lucky to have Mrs Godfrey and Mrs Heritage working in Class Two.

The main pieces of information for now is that PE will be on a Wednesday.  Children are to come to school in full PE kit for the whole day.

Reading books will be changed on a Monday only and for now two books will issued for the week.  Should you feel your child would benefit from three please ask.  Children need to read AT LEAST THREE TIMES A WEEK  at home.  This is one of whole school non-negotiables.  Thank you for your support.

Mrs Sally Griffiths
