Godrevy

A warm welcome to the Godrevy family of year 2! We hope that you had a fantastic summer and that you are all as excited to begin the year 2 journey as we are. Autumn is a time for new beginnings, a celebration of change and a time to bond with one another as we embark on a year full of learning, excitement, joy and happiness.

 

Our topic this term, sees the class exploring the mischievous Gunpowder Plot created by Robert Catesby and his gang of cunning plotters. Alongside this, we will also be investigation the uses of everyday materials in our science lessons 

 

As well as History and Science, we will be learning about some very exciting topics in Reading, Writings, Maths, RE, Georgraphy, PE, Art, DT, Music, PSHE and Outdoor Education. To find out more about what will be happening in Godrevyclass this term, please have a look at our Medium Term Plan linked at the bottom of this page.

 

 

 

Please pick your child up at the first door of the main hall at the end of the day. Mr Smith or Mrs Cook will dismiss every child from this door.

 

 

 

Godrevy's hall slot is every Monday. However, please ensure that your child has their PE kit in school all week. This includes shorts or jogging bottoms, a white t-shirt, shoes that are suitable for indoor and outdoor activities. Please contact Mr Smith if you need any support with PE kit.

 

At St Uny Church of England Academy, we believe homework is anything children do outside of the normal school day that contributes to their learning, in response to guidance from the school. Homework encompasses a whole variety of activities instigated by teachers and parents/carers to support the children's learning. Please see the 'Chilli Challenge' homework grid attached to this page. The homework grid has a variety of exciting tasks and activities linked to our topic.

 

 

 

 

 

Reading should be enjoyed daily - please ensure that your child reads either independently or with somebody at home and that their reading is recorded in their reading record. The children are thoroughly enjoying working towards their next 'Reading Karate' bands and raffle tickets, so please keep up with the fantastic support and excitement!

 

If you would like more information about why reading at home is so important please follow the link below or read the attached DFE study.

 

 

It is important that by the end of  Year 2 ( KS1) children learn to read and spell the the National Curriculum words for Year 1 and 2. Although we practice and encourage the application of accurate spelling during the school day, it would be greatly appreciated if you could regularly monitor your child on the year 2 common exception words. Please ask children to recite words out loud as well as write the spellings out correctly. Thank you to all parents and carers for your ongoing support with spelling! 

 

 

 

Our school learning power this term is 'Empathy and Listening' and we will be looking for good examples of this in the classroom and around the school.

 

 

 

If you have any questions or queries please speak with Mr Smith or Mrs Cook at the end of the day or arrange an appointment through the school office.
