Welcome to Hungerford Bridge Class.
Class teacher: Miss Agyemang
Teaching assistant: Ms Jones
This week we will be using our portal story toolkit to plan a new version of Leon and the Place Between. We will then be using our plans to write a new ending for the story.
Please see the attached word document for the planning template we will be using. It outlines the key aspects of a portal story.
SPaG (Spelling, Punctuation and Grammar)
We will be focusing on homphones this weel. These are words that sound the same/ similar but have a different spelling or meaning. We will be focusing on two/ to/ too, they’re/ there/ their and our/ are/ hour in particular.
Reading
We are still enjoying reading Fantastic Mr Fox as a class.
Maths
We will be moving on to addition and subtraction this week. We will be recapping basic number skills. This includes making numbers up to 10 in different ways. For example: how many ways can you find to make 2? 3? 4? 5? 6? 7? 8? 9? It is important to recognise that number bonds do not only refer to the different ways to make 10. This fundamental skill will help with other aspects of addition and subtraction(e.g bridging).
Topic
We will be doing some work on ‘The Circus’ to fit in with our key text.
History
We are going to learn about Amy Johnson, a local historical figure.
Science
We will be looking at materials and their properties this half term.
P.E
Monday afternoon- ball skills.
(Slot to be confirmed) – Real PE.
Thank you to those of you who attended the workshop yesterday. It was great to see so many of you there. We have put a link to the powerpoint presentation here as we understand that some of the slides may be difficult to read.
We will also be sending out a list of the Year 2 common exception words this week.
Please come and find us if you have any questions.
Due to popular demand, there will be a maths mastery workshop for parent’s. Dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.
Thanks.
