Year 2 Mrs Cuthbertson

Welcome to Year 2 with Mrs Cuthbertson and Mrs Dixon. We are ready for an exciting term exploring and learning some amazing new facts linked to our topic 'Up, Up and away'. 

Our PE days will be Tuesday and Wednesday so please make sure your child has their PE kit on those days.

The children will have reading time everyday as they begin on the Accelerated Reading programme, so it is extremely important that they bring their reading folder to school every day.

We have lots of fun activities lined up for this half term so let's get off to a flying start.

Year 2 Autumn Term 2

Get ready for another fun filled half term.

This half term we will be exploring where our food comes from. We will identify the countries of the UK and the continents of the world and we will begin to look at which foods are grown where and why. We will continue our theme by looking at plants and identifying different plants and trees. We will also look at plants in different environments with a trip to The Botanical Gardens in Durham.

Then of course we have the run up to Christmas where we will be very busy learning the Christmas play and creating lots of Christmas crafts to bring home.

Our PE days are still Tuesday and Wednesday so please make sure your child has their PE kit on those days.

Please remember to send your child with their reading folder every day as there is a time every day for the children to read or quiz on their Accelerated Reader book. Thank you for your support with Accelerated Reader - the children are really enjoying it and as a class we have won many extra play times for our effort in the first half term.

This half term we have had fun learning how to programme the Bee Bots to get from Earth to different planets. We learnt how to use our instructions and how to programme a sequence of instructions so that we didn't need to put each one in at a time.

We also began to explore how to debug a programme. We followed the instructions and looked for the mistakes and then corrected them.
