The children in Cherry Tree Class have made a great start to 2023!
Our topic for this half term is 'Superheroes'. We started our topic by talking about what a superhero is. The children have also been thinking about the difference between real-life and fictional superheroes.
In English we are using inspiration from our topic for our writing. This week we have been looking at 'Elastigirl' from the Incredibles. We have been creating word banks of her powers, personality and appearance to help us with our description writing. The children have been making sure that their writing includes all the key things from our Year 2 writing 'MUST DO' list. They have enjoyed watching some clips of this superhero showing off her incredible stretchy skills.
In maths we have been revisiting addition and subtraction. Next week we will be starting our unit of work on Multiplication and Division. Any work at home you can do counting in 2's, 5's and 10's would be extremely helpful.
The Curriculum Overview for this term has been added to the class page. This will give you more details of what the children will be learning in all curriculum areas this term.
The 'Aslan' Reading Challenge will continue this term. Your continued support in listening to your child read at home, at least 3 times a week, is really needed and much appreciated. Please remember little and often is the key.
Enjoy your weekend and a belated 'Happy New Year' to you all!
