The Great Fire of London

Why was the fire so catastrophic?

Three myths about the Great Fire of London | London Museum

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 use apostrophes for contraction and commas in a list

In Maths, we will:

  • add and subtract two digit numbers within 100
  • continue to practise bridging the ten (e.g 7 + 8 and 15 – 8)

Please see the curriculum descriptor linked below for further details.

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 days are on Monday (indoor) an Tuesday (outdoor)

    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.
