Family discussion questions:

Next half term we will be learning about castles. Have you visited a castle as a family? Do you know what castles were for? Do you know the names of parts of a castle?

Looking forward:

Next half term we will be reading a new text – to be revealed after half term! In maths, we will be learning about statistics including graphs and learning to use directional vocabulary. In science, we will become Young Master Chefs and in history we will learn about castles.

PE will be on Fridays next half term! Please ensure school PE kit is worn.

Reading books are changed on Tuesdays. The reading folder is needed in school every day. Thank you.

Please continue to read every night as this underpins so much learning in Year 2. For every consecutive 14 days of reading the children will receive 10 house points and see their face on the ‘Reading Challenge Wall of Fame’. Well done to the 8 children that completed the challenge again this week. Please record when you read with your child in their reading diaries so we can track their progress and see who has completed the challenge this term!

Have a great half term,

Mr Warhurst
