Belgravia - Year 2 2025 - 2026
Miss Katie Jones
Welcome to Belgravia Class; the home of Year 2!
Our topic this term is Dungeons and Dragons ... In the first half term we will be using our English text, 'The Curious Case of the Missing Mammoth', to explore past and present with an exciting focus on toys through time. After the half term holiday, we will delving into the world of kings, queens and castles! We are looking forward to our visit to Chirk Castle in June. Finally we will be thinking about traditional and not so tradtional fairytales as we enjoy the text 'Goldilocks and Just the One Bear'.
In science, we will be learning all about Plants and how they grow. We will also learn about Living Things and their Habitats.
In Religious Education this term we will be exploring the questions; “Why is baptism special?" and "How can we take care of our wonderful world?"
Belgravia PE Sessions
This term PE will be on a Monday and Friday afternoon.
Belgravia Outdoor Learning Session
This year Belgravia's outdoor learning will be on a Tuesday. Please remember to bring your base layers to school and ensure you have wellies and waterproofs (labelled) in a separate bag.
Belgravia Home Learning
Each week there will be spellings to learn and daily reading. Spellings will be available each week on your child’s EdShed. We will have a spelling test and a 10 in 10 test each Friday.
Children are expected to read every night with an adult. Children's books will be changed weekly when they have finished reading their current books. Each child can choose up to 4 colour banded books to take home at one time and they will be given a phonietically decodable book (if required) by their teacher. The decodeable book should be read multiple times to help develop fluency and expression. As your child progresses through the book bands, they may bring a longer chapter book home. In this case, it may be that they only bring one or two books home a week due to the length of the text.
If, over the course of the week, your child reads all 5 books, their reading should be supplemented with books from home. For some children reading longer books, the expectation isn't to read all 5 books and should change just those which have been completed.
Reading Records will be monitored regularly and they remain a very good way to communicate messages from home.
Each child has access to EdShed, Bug Club and Times Tables Rockstars. Children should access one of these digital resources every day in addition to reading.
