Dear Parents and Carers,
Year
2 – Spring Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the New Term! We hope you find this letter
informative. This term, University of Broadford begins! Each week on a Friday afternoon,
the children will attend their chosen course, which they are very excited
about. Later in the term children will ‘graduate’ which you will be invited to
attend (dates to be confirmed).
Homework:
Our expectation at Broadford is that every child should do the
following every night:
·
15 minutes reading to themselves or an
adult and note in the reading record
·
15 minutes practicing spellings
·
15 minutes rehearsing times tables
facts (including multiplication and division)
If
children would like to attempt an additional challenge, we have a new Learning
Challenge for children to attempt this Autumn term which is attached. All of
the activities are based around a significant person, poem or painting relating
to our topics. Children do not have to attempt every activity but instead
select the activities that they are most interested in and compile a project
that reflects the extra time and effort that they have put into their
challenge. We hope that children will take their time with the challenge and be
proud of the work they produce they should hand this in to their teacher at the
end of the Half Term.
Spellings:
Spellings will be given out on Mondays. The children should
practise their words every evening. The test will take place on Fridays.
Trips & sharing assemblies
Year 2 will have a Sculpture workshop this term and will have
a trip out which is yet to be confirmed. We will also be going to Hilldene School
for our annual infant music festival. Cedar will have their sharing assembly on
10th Jan and Cherry on 25th April.
Curriculum Information
We
have included a summary of the topics which the children will be covering this
term. If you would like to make any suggestions of what you or your child would
like to learn in relation to the topics taught, please let the team know. We
welcome any suggestions you may have.
Yours
Sincerely,
Miss
