Well, we really are hurtling towards the end of
another successful year, but that doesn't mean we are slowing down and there is
still lots to get through.
English
In
English this week we will be looking at some more stories by the fantastic author
Julia Donaldson. We will compare similarities and differences and express our
opinions. We will also be looking at some of the characters in detail.

picture of your character and write some sentences to describe it?

Science
This week we will be continuing our new topic on
Living Things.
We will be asking the
question “When is a thing a living thing?”
We will talk about the
seven processes that all living things exhibit. These are movement, reproduction,
sensitivity, nutrition, excretion, respiration and growth.
Can you spot any living things on your journey to
school? If you have pets, what do they do that shows you that they are living
things?
Topic
Our new topic is The
Football World Cup which the children are really enjoying!
This week we will be
looking at the flag of England and the Union Flag. We will also be looking at
the flags of some of the other countries in The World Cup. We will be looking
at the shapes and patterns that we can see. We will then sort the flags by
pattern and colour.
Reminders
|
This week we will be carrying out our phonics
screening check for the Year 1 children and also some of the children in Year
2. It would be helpful if you could continue to practise the phonemes at home
with your child. There are lots of useful websites detailed above to help you
with this.

We had
a great time last week at Tattenhall with the Year 2 children and we know that
you will have had some very tired children at home this weekend. We would love
to see some of the photos that the children have taken, so please do send them
in to share.
Thank you for your continued support.
Year 1/2 Team.
