Class Teacher - Mrs D Clarkson.             

                                     Welcome to the Jellyfish class. 

Welcome back Jellyfish!

What will we see at night?

Hoping that you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. This is a very exciting term for us, we will be learning about nocturnal animals such as owls, badgers and foxes. In DT we will be constructing bird houses creating free standing structures and using joining methods and tools.

In maths we will be learning about the properties of 2D and 3D shapes, money, divisions and multiplication. Homework will continue to work on using TTRS.

In English we will be reading a range of fiction and nonfiction books linked to the topic of nocturnal animals. We will be exploring the features of a diary entry, a retelling and finishing with an information text about nocturnal animal. We will also be sending home spelling rules that we are working on as a class.

Most Year 2 children will be taking an Accelerated Reading book home, it is really important to make sure that their reading record is signed as this lets us know that they’ve read the book and are ready to take their Accelerated Reader quiz! This is great fun, as they will take a quiz on a laptop to

In science, we are learning to categorise things as living, dead, never been alive. To help us do this we will be learning about the 7 life processes to help us identify which group things belong to.

Our PE days this term will be Thursdays and Fridays, we will be creating our own dance as well as developing out gymnastic skills.

Reading books will be changed on a Tuesday and a Thursday, please make sure that

We look forward to a very exciting term,

Mrs Clarkson and the Jellyfish team
