Class 2
Autumn 2019
Welcome back! Hope you've all had a fantastic holiday - we're looking forward to hearing all about it!
This term we will be learning about Inventions, focusing on lighthouses to begin with. In Literacy, we will be looking at the story of The Lighthouse Keeper's Lunch, as well as researching Grace Darling and the invention of the lighthouse. In DT, we are going to have a go at making our own lighthouse models complete with lights! In music, the children will have the opportunity to play a mix of different percussion instruments and then use these to compose a simple piece of music based on the idea of water and storms.
Our Science topic is Materials, learning about their different properties and uses and we will be carrying out lots of different experiments and investigations.
PE Kits
Could I remind all parents to make sure that their child has an indoor AND outdoor P.E. kit in school every day. This should include a warm tracksuit, separate outdoor P.E. trainers, shorts, T-shirt and plimsoles. Make sure all clothing is clearly labelled with your child's name. Please also check regularly that items still fit your child and are in good condition.
Please could you also ensure that your child has a named drink bottle at school every day.
If there is anything you need to know, please don't hesitate to come and ask.
