Please find attached the key documents for Spring 1. Below, you will find the spelling overview, the curriculum map overview, the children's KIRFs for maths, the spring termly overview and the science homework sheet.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
The children are very excited for Christmas. They have worked incredibly hard this autumn term and are ready for a break. We have learnt lots of exciting things since the start of Year Two. Take a look at what we have achieved this autumn as well as what we've been up to these last few days in celebration of the Christmas holiday!
Please find attached this week's spellings for the next spelling test (08.01.24). I thought I would send these in preparation for the holidays (ALL online) but also give you some extra time to learn these due to the hectic time of year. I appreciate you will all be rushed off your feet and the Christmas chaos will be ongoing, therefore to make things easier I haven't stuck in any sheets. However, please do try to continue keeping your child's learning fresh where you are able to, even if it is slightly different and Christmas-themed (reading books etc.). Keep going with the Doodle Maths activities already set and Spelling Shed now that I have uploaded the new spellings attached/online. I have also provided some children with Phonics link videos to interact with, as well as a Christmas-themed handwriting pack to help support presentation. Lastly, do encourage your child to write a Christmas diary (this is why their homework book has been sent back home) of their magical time shared with friends and family as we would love to hear some of the exciting things the children got up to.
Have a great last (short) week.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Our final full week of autumn term is here! Thank you for your continued support with homework and help around school. The children have worked so hard and are ready to share their Christmas Concert with you tomorrow!
Instead of a test next Monday, I have set a creative task for your child to complete and share with us during 'Show and Tell' afternoons. Please allow your child to choose some spellings (using your homework book or reading journal pages) they have found tricky this autumn 2. They are then to present new and different ways of practising these spellings at home. I have added in some examples for you so your child is inspired to think creatively. For Maths, there is a shape activity which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently as they have worked really well at understanding our 2D shape unit. Please continue with reading at home as well as Doodlemaths and Spelling Shed for a few minutes at a time. Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.
Have a great week!

Take a look at our latest DT Day where Base One made a variety of puppets. The children really enjoyed the process of planning, designing and then making their creations. They worked really hard by researching different designs and understood the step-by-step method of joining materials using a needle and thread. It was very challenging but they sure persevered. Well done Base One.
Thank you again to volunteers to help make this day special. We really wouldn't be able to carry out our DT Days without your help. It is very much appreciated.
Please find attached this week's spellings for next Monday's spelling test (11.12.23). For this week, your child has one spelling activity handwriting sheet for common exception words (to be completed independently) and a Maths activity based on recognising SD and 3D shapes, which shouldn't take your child too long to finish and complete (the majority of it) independently. Please continue with reading at home. Your childdre have been so excited to show the office their completed reading pages and it is so wonderful to see what some of the children have been reading at home. Super work. Additionally, Doodlemaths is set on Fridays so you should see some new assignments set for this week already as well as keeping up with the practice on Spelling Shed. Again, most of these online tasks are set so your child is able to complete these by themselves.
Have a great week!
