Autumn Term Week 8: welcome back!

Hello Class 2 Parents and welcome back!

EDITED to add a few photos below!

I hope you all had a good week. It was lovely to see the children's smiling faces on Tuesday morning - they seem re-energised after their week off!

First - a polite request. 
Please could book bags and back packs only have one smallish keyring on? The bunches of exciting keyrings are proving to be quite noisy and distracting at the end of the day during story time. Thank you!

It's been a shorter week, but we've packed a lot in. 

In our story the children have been doing a lot of geography. They needed to relocate the penguin colony (where the adelie penguin has come from). They used a map of Antarctica and some very simple co-ordinates to plot some recent sightings of adelie penguin colonies and they have started writing some instructions for how to relocate the penguin in their writing lessons. 

In phonics the Year 1 children have been looking words with initial consonant blends, such as  sp, fr, dr, st.  These are particularly challenging when writing words - children need to learn to stretch the word right out so that they don't miss the second sound in the blend. 

In spellings the Year 2 children have been looking at words ending in -le. Their spellings
 can be found here. 

In Maths we have been looking at doubles. 

Year 1 homework is here and will be in their folders. 
Year 2 homework is here and will be in their folders. 

The children have settled quickly back into the routine of Rainbow Jobs. I've introduced one compulsory job each week - this week, every child made a moving picture of a penguin using a sliding mechanism. 


I hope you all have a good weekend!
