Don’t forget that Monday is a bank holiday! We hope that the children all have an enjoyable day off!

With the year 2 SATs coming up, we are continuing to do a lot of test preparation. We are recapping a lot of our prior learning and looking closely at SATs style questions. This does include doing some practice papers. Don’t worry though, we are also doing lots of other fun learning!

Our key learning objectives for this week will be as follows:

Maths: we will be finishing off our work on statistics this week and recapping measurement. In particular we will be focusing on capacity and temperature.

Class read- We will be continuing to read The Twits by Roald Dahl.

Reading: we will be doing some reading comprehension papers and recapping the key skills we need to effectively answer different types of questions.

Writing- most of us have completed our healthy living leaflets. We will have the option to copy our final edited piece of work neatly onto a leaflet template.

SPaG- we are recapping various aspects of this, including: commas in a list, and exclamatory sentences.

Science- Our science topic this term is living things and their habitats.

We are continuing with our ‘How Are You?’ topic which has lots of links with history, art, georgraphy and PSHE.

PE: we have been developing our ball skills to enable us to play team games.

RE-Our RE topic this term is Christianity.

Music- Year 2 will continue to have ministrings on Friday afternoons. Please remember to collect your child from the dining hall on this day.

Important information

Year 2 will be beginning their SATs tests on the week beginning 15^th May. In Hungerford Class, we have decided to spread ours across a two week period to avoid overloading the children. This should help them to perform as well as they can. It is likely that most tests will be in the morning part of our day.

It is important to ensure that your child comes to school with a water bottle every day: particularly over this period. They must keep hydrated.

Please come and see me in the playground if you have any queries about the year 2 SATs.

Thank you for all of your support so far this year.  🙂
