Dear Parents and Carers,
Year 2 – Spring 2 Curriculum Newsletter
Welcome back to the New Term! We hope you find this letter informative. This term, University of Broadford will continue. Each week on a Friday afternoon, the children will attend their chosen course, which they are very excited about. At the end of this 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 on 7th March.
We will also be going to Hilldene School for our annual infant music festival on 27th March.
Cherry will have their sharing assembly 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,
