Badger class news

It's hard to believe that we are already at the end of the Spring term.  Here comes Summer boys and girls!  Lots of exciting new learning and hopefully warm, sunny weather too.

So for our final week of Spring 2 we will be learning the following. 

English:

This week we will be looking at a new book, "The Way back Home" by Oliver Jeffers.  We will use this to inspire our own writing, getting into the role of the boy and the alien.  We will write a diary entry as each of the characters as well as a conversation between the two using speech marks.  

Maths:

This is our final week on measurement, where we will be learning how to read temperatures on thermometers.  We will also be completing end of term assessments and end of unit assessments too.  

RE:

As we are about to finish for the Easter break we will quite rightly be learning about the Easter story in some detail.  We will learn about Palm Sunday and the events that followed it.  On Wednesday we will walk to

St. George's Church where we are very lucky to be spending the afternoon with the Revd Catherine Vaughan.  She will explain to us in greater detail the importance of the Easter events and their significance to Christians around the world.  

Today we went into the forest to build a habitat for a hedgehog.  We used our knowledge of hedgehogs to help us find the perfect spot before collecting twigs, leaves and grass to make it.  This will help us in English where we are writing a set of instructions using imperative verbs or bossy words to build a hedgehog habitat.  

Reminders

Please bring your reading book and reading diary to school every day. 

You should bring a bottle of water with you every day in a named bottle.  Please carry it separately from your reading books to keep them dry.  

Please make sure your school uniform has your name on it.  

PE happens on a Thursday afternoon in Year 2 so don't forget to wear your PE kit that day.

We will also visit the library on Thursdays, so if you'd like to change your book, please remember to bring it with you.

Thank you.
