Miss Moran and Miss Stewart welcome you to our class page. We’re excited to inform what the class will be learning this half term, as well as showing you all the fun they are having on their learning journey. 

Spellings

Spellings are given out weekly and tested every Monday. Please ensure spelling booklets are in every Monday. It is important to practice spelling regularly at home with your child.

Reading

Please ensure that you listen to your child read at least 3 times a week and record it in their diary. Children who read 3 times a week will receive a gold star.

Phonics 

As part of our curriculum this half term, Year 2 will be revising and practicing their phonic sounds daily in school. Please could you use the pack given to you last year and practice these sounds at home with your child at least 3 times a week. 
 

Homework

Homework and times tables is handed out every Friday and collected back in on the following Wednesday. Please ensure that only one page in each booklet is completed every week.

Water bottles 
Please ensure that your child has access to a water bottle in school throughout the day.

Clothing

Please check that all your child’s belongings have been labelled with their names. We are encouraging more responsibility and independence this term so this will help your child greatly. 

PE 

Due to current circumstances, PE will be outdoors. On the day your child has PE please can you send them into school in their PE kit and trainers as well as their School Jumper and coat.  Your child's PE day is on a Thursday and Friday. 

This term's value and virtue is attentive and discerning.

We are attentive when we listen to our calling from God and we are discerning what is right and how this impacts us and others. 

Our RE unit this term is Lent. Lent is a time of preparation before the events of Easter. Year 2 will be learning about the parables that Jesus taught us and how we pray, fast and give during Lent. 

Many thanks
Miss Moran

Our topic this term is 

What we'll build

We’ll be looking about laying the foundations for our life together, back in school. Using our own special tools, we will get to work; building memories to cherish, a school to keep them safe and love to keep them warm.

Our home learning this term is our Science Fair project. 

This year St Patrick’s will be participating in the Science Projects and Science Fair 2021. It is an opportunity for all you super scientists to shine and choose an area of science you would like to investigate and learn more about. You can listen to the PowerPoint to find out how to enter and what you need to do. Miss Brookes
