Autumn Term 2

Welcome back to school! We hope you’ve enjoyed a well-deserved break and you are feeling ready for another busy and exciting half-term!

In English, we will be starting our new book which will be revealed in Week 1! There is a small clue in the picture above! We will also begin our new text in Shared Reading. This lovely book explores eight animal habitats to see the extraordinary natural stories that happen above and below the surface.

In Maths, we will be completing ‘Addition and Subtraction’ mainly focusing on subtraction and then we will move onto ‘Multiplication and Division’. We will be introducing you to ‘Times Table Rockstars’ this half term so that you can practise your multiplication facts at home at home.

We will be carrying on with our learning about Judaism in RE exploring how Jewish people live their faith through practices and celebrations.  In Science, we will be looking at ‘Living Things’ and in History, we will be learning about Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.  

In the wider curriculum we will be learning how to do different types of stitch to make a Christmas puppet in DT. We will begin our second My Happy Mind unit called, ‘Celebrate’ and we will continue to add to our class toolbox with strategies to help us when looking at the Zones of Regulation.

PE lessons will take place on Wednesday (House of Dance) and Fridays (Gymnastics) so please come to school dressed in your PE kits. Finally, we will also be practising our Christmas play! We will be doing lots of rehearsals and singing practice and the House of Dance team will be teaching you how to dance and perform the songs to show your families at the end of term.

PE Timetable

Children should come to school dressed in their PE kits on Tuesday and Friday in Autumn 1. 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.  

Reading at Home

We encourage pupils to ‘Strive for 5’ when reading at home each week.

At the start of the year, children will continue reading a book from the Little Wandle Scheme as they did in Year 1. As the year progresses we will support the children as they choose their book from our carefully curated class library.
