Let Your Dreams Take Flight
Who were the pioneers of flight?
In English, we will:
- Recap key Year 1 writing skills such as capital letters, full stops and plural (s or -es)
- Use expanded noun phrases with adjectives in a list
- Immerse ourselves in story experiences to make sure our writing is engaging and specific
- Learn how to write a Newspaper Report about an important figure
In Maths, we will:
- increase our fluency with number bonds to 10, before moving onto our number bonds to 20
- adding and subtracting numbers that bridge the ten (e.g 7 + 8 and 15 – 8)
In History, we are learning about the history of flying machines and who first flew them!
We are also now rehearsing for our Christmas Performance! Details come.
General Information
Book-bags should be brought into school every day: we encourage children to be as independent as possible and to remember their book-bag for themselves.
The children can go home with three new books every week: a Library book, a class book corner book and a guided reading book. However, children can choose to keep their class book corner book in their trays. Children can change their bookband books at any time of the week.
We hear children read in Guided Reading sessions, and individually at other times. This is likely to be once per week per child.
Children are encouraged to change their books regularly.
Our PE day is on Monday
On PE days please bring your Morley PE kit to change into at school (see here for more details). A PE kit consists of T-shirt, shorts, long-sleeved top and jogging bottoms, spare socks, trainers or plimsolls. Long hair must be tied back and no jewellery please.
Children will need to bring a filled and named water bottle to school each day. The class tap is drinking water and the children are able to fill their bottles as needed.
Homework will be set on Friday via Google Classroom, to be submitted by the following Thursday. Login details can be found in your child’s reading record. Homework will be acknowledged by the class teacher on Google Classroom.
