Summer Term- Part 2
We can't believe we are already into our last half term in Year 2. Read on to find out about some of the exciting learning and activities planned for the second half of Summer Term.
In English we will be reading the text Grandad's Secret Giant by David Litchfield. In our Guided Reading we will be reading stories from Grimms Fairy Tales.
.
In Maths we will be completing our work on 2D and 3D shapes and looking at telling the time. This is a lovely topic to practice with the children at home as much as you can.
In Science we will be learning about Plants and in RE we will be continuing to learn about the religion of Judaism and exploring how Jews show their faith through practices and celebrations.
In History we will be looking at Seaside Holidays in the past and in Design Technology we will be making our own Pizzas!
Our Art Topic is based on the work of Henri Rousseau
We will continue to add to our class toolbox with strategies to help us when looking at the Zones of Regulation.

PE
Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on Mondays. Hair should be tied back and jewellery should be removed for PE lessons. If ears are newly pierced, children must be sent to school with tape over their earrings for safety.
Hot Dinners and Snack
Please ensure hot dinner and snack choices are completed using the online system by Sunday Evening. Alternatively, children can bring in their own packed lunch (nut free) if they wish to do so. Children should be able to access the items in their lunchboxes themselves - opening packaging, small tubs etc.
Children in Year 2 are provided with free fruit each day. The type of fruit varies each day and we do not know ahead of time what will be provided. Your child is welcome to bring in a piece of fruit from home if they would prefer. Children also have the opportunity to have a piece of toast instead of fruit. The cost of this is 25p per day (£1.25 per week). To be paid online
Children should to bring their full water bottles in daily. We are a healthy school so please fill water bottles with water only.
Medication
If your children needs to take medication during the school day, please complete a form at the school office. Medication sent into school should be clearly labelled with the pupils name, dosage and storage requirements. Medication must be given to a member of staff by the adult responsible for the child. If your child needs an inhaler or epipen in school, please ensure this is sent into school and again handed over to the class teacher. Please make a note of the expiry date before sending into school and ensure that a replacement is sent into school in advance of the expiry date.
