Welcome to 2CL (Foxes)

Mrs Clarke's Class

Macmillan coffee day!

On Friday we will be hosting a cake sale for the children and a coffee morning for parents and carers. Cake donations can be brought in from Wednesday 25th. A letter was sent out via Parentpay with more details. There will be two coffee sessions; 9am and 2:15pm. We also have a wonderful group of children who will be entertaining you with their singing. 

Please help us to support this incredible charity.

Autumn Term 
Around the World 

Autumn Term 
Around the World

In the Autumn Term, our topic is 'Around the World'. We will be learning lots about the world around us, including the names of oceans and continents and discovering lots about different explorers and their missions. 

In English lessons, we will be looking at different features we can find in poems and focusing on performing poetry effectively. We will also be writing our own set of 'disgusting' instructions, character descriptions and Christmas themed letters. 

In maths lessons, we will be recapping our number and place value knowledge, addition and subtraction.  We will work on our fluency and tackle challenges using our reasoning and problem solving skills. 

In science, we will be learning about living things and their habitats.  This will hopefully include a trip to Hyde Hall so please keep an eye out for a letter in the next few weeks. 

In HRSE, we will look at 'Being me in my World' where we will look at who we are and how we fit in the world.  We will then move on to 'Celebrating Difference' where we look at similarities and differences, anti-bullying and being unique. 

Indoor PE will be on a Wednesday and outdoor PE is on a Friday- please come into school in your PE kit. Long hair must be tied back and no jewellery is to be worn. We will be starting P.E on the week beginning the 9th September.

Forest School is on a Wednesday and more information will be sent home in due course. 

School bags only need to be small (just big enough for a book and reading record.  Pencil cases are not needed, however, should your child want to bring one it needs to be small enough to fit in their tray.  

A healthy snack of fruit or vegetable will be provided each day.  If you want to send your child in with their own fruit or vegetable snack this is also ok.  Please also ensure your child has a named water bottle.  These can be refilled when necessary throughout the school day.

You can contact the Year 2 team on yeartwo@woodville.essex.sch.uk

Homework

Edshed

Maths and Spelling homework will be on Edshed weekly for you to complete. In addition to the weekly assignments, please encourage your child to select the 'planets' in Maths shed and practice their fluency in number bonds to 10, 20 and times tables.

Reading at Home

You should listen to your child read aloud 3 times a week. Please note this in their Reading Record. Children are encouraged to read for pleasure as much as possible. 

Times Table Rockstars

GARAGE – times tables set by the teacher

JAMMING – choose your own times tables to practise. You are able to select multiplication, division or a mixture of both. You can also choose the number of questions to answer. 

STUDIO – general practise to improve your ‘Rock Status’. It will also give you your average speed.

SOUNDCHECK – this activity will give the children 6 seconds to answer a random set of 25 questions. This is the speed they will need once they get to Year 4 so they may not be ready for this speed just yet.
