History: The Great Fire of London

In year 2, we have started out History topic and we are learning all about The Great Fire of London. We are using a book, Vlad and the Great Fire of London, to stimulate our learning. (This is a YouTube link. Top tip for watching YouTube with your child: go to the settings cog along the play bar and turn off autoplay – this avoids an inappropriate clip coming up automatically, and helps to discourage your child from passively watching clip after clip.)

We have started by talking about the topic vocabulary, which you can see below. Help your child at home by exploring the information on the BBC bitesize website.

Year 2 reading assembly

As your child moves into Year 3, we would like to invite you to an assembly on Thursday 04 July at 2.30pm to celebrate the amazing reading that your children have been doing this year. This will also be an opportunity to think about what their reading journey will look like in Year 3.
We hope you can join us for this assembly; we look forward to seeing you then.
Thank you for your ongoing support.

PE: Tennis skills

This half term, Year 2 are learning the fundamental movement skills associated with tennis. Throughout the half term, we will be doing individual racket and ball activities and learning different skills. We have also started doing some partner activities; rolling and bouncing balls in and out of hoops, serving into a hoop and striking the ball on the floor to their partner with the tennis racket.

 

 

Help at home by talking about the skills your child is learning and practice hitting a ball with a tennis racket.
