Welcome to Class 2! 

 

Welcome back! Hope everyone has enjoyed their Easter break and is ready to jump into the final term! This term, we will be exploring and comparing a village in India to Sutton-in-Craven. In science, we will be learning all about plants, growing plants and conducting experiments about plants. We have lots of exciting learning this term and cannot wait to get started.

Every Friday there will be a spelling challenge to assess your child's spelling skills. 

Phonics - 

In year 2, the children will be reviewing their RWI Set 2 and Set 3 sounds. Using a variety of fiction and non-fiction RWI books the children will apply their phonics knowledge to enhance their word reading, reading comprehension and writing. During the week, the children look at vocabulary, grammar, comprehension and will then combine these skills to produce a piece of writing that will encompass all they have learnt in the week.  

Some children will be coming off the Read Write Inc. scheme and will now focus on their comprehension skills. 

 

In Spring 2, class 2 design a healthy pizza. As a class, we thought about which foods are healthy for our bodies and how much we should have of different kinds of foods. The children got to create and eat the pizza they designed. 

As part of our Geography topic, the children learned all about Sutton-in-Craven. They created a route using maps, the used the maps and went on our way to explore Sutton-in-Craven for ourselves. We looked out for human and physical features along the way and enjoyed a break at the Sutton park.
