PSHE

Your child's wellbeing is our top priority and we will spend time daily allowing children to discuss how they are feeling in a safe environment.  We will be learning about how to stay safe in our local area and the people who help us when we need help.  We will also think about how we show and control our feelings.

 

Our Topic this half term is:

Our Local Area

 

In our topic lessons we will look at our local area.  We will learn about significant people that grew up in our area and explore the land uses in Little Harwood. 

 

 

English

 

We will be writing new  endings for the story of  ‘Tidy’ by Emily Gravett and also persuasive letters linked to the text.

 

Maths

 

We will spend some time reminding ourselves of what we learned in Year 1 and ensuring that we feel confident with place value if numbers to 50.  We will practise multiplication and division facts for 2s, 5s and 10s. We will continue to practise simple addition and subtraction and number bonds every day during our 'Mad Maths' sessions.  

 

Science

 

In science will learn about ‘Living things and their habitats’ with a focus on Local Wildlife.  We will understand how animals adapt to live in their habitats and how they find their food.  We will take part in the ‘Great British Birdwatch’.

 

 

RE

 

Our first focus will be ‘Jesus is Special’.  We will listen to stories about the miracles he performed and how he was a friend to everyone.

 

We need your support!
