 Our teacher is Mrs Akin.

Term 2

Welcome to Term 2! This term we will be writing a fantastical narrative based on 'The Nowhere Emporium'. In Science we'll be learning about space - a topic the children showed a lot of interest in last term. Our Geography topic asks the question: What's life like in the Alps? We'll also be continuing our Voices for Life workshop which incorporates a wide range of musical devices and practice. We'll also be learning Christmas songs as part of our singing assemblies, and some traditional carols. 

Home learning

Children are expected to read at least 5 times a week, and log their reading at home in their yellow reading logs. Reading folders must be brought in every day so reading logs can be checked and updated as children read in school. 

In Term 2 Children will also need to complete a weekly reading comprehension and to log into TT Rockstars from home, and practise weekly spelling. Paper copies of home learning will be given out on Fridays to be handed in the following Friday. 

This term P.E will be on Mondays and Tuesdays.   

You will need to wear:

  • Plain black / navy shorts, plain white t-shirt or white t-shirt with school logo
  • Trainers for outdoor PE
  • Plain black / navy joggers and a plain black / navy sweatshirt or ‘hoodie’ may be worn for cold weather outdoor PE in the winter.
  • A blue school fleece with logo is also available.

*Please do not wear different colours or clothes with other logos.*
