Welcome to Class 6!
Class teacher: Miss Davies
Teaching Assistant: Mrs Lofts and Miss Van Niekerk
Class 6 have made an excellent start to Year 2! We are exploring lots of exciting topics on our journey through Year 2. Our class teacher is Miss Davies but we also have the pleasure of working with Mrs Lofts, Miss Van Neikerk and Mrs Barker. We have expert support in our PE lessons from Megan, Luke and Miss Wade.
In English our topic is Amazing Africa. We have started reading ‘Meerkat Mail’ and we are enjoying learning about Sunny’s family, the habitat in which they live and comparing this to our family dynamics and the different habitats in our country.
We are also excited to read ‘Little People, Big Dreams, Nelson Mandela’, and ‘Little People, Big Dreams, Martin Luther King’, and ‘One Day on our Blue Planet… in the Savannah’. We are developing our knowledge of the Year 2 spelling rules through the use of Spelling Shed in school and at home.
Class 6 have come back after Christmas ready to build on their maths knowledge from the autumn term. We are moving on to exploring multiplication and division, money, statistics, properties of shape and length and height and we will deepen our understanding of these topics through reasoning and problem-solving activities. To understand when we can use our mathematical skills in real-life situations, we will be linking this knowledge to other subjects across the curriculum.
We are going to aim to improve our already amazing knowledge of the 2-, 5-, 10- and 3-times tables in a fun and engaging way through using Times Table Rock Stars in school and at home. Class 6 love the competitive element of Times Table Rock Stars which is helping to build our fluency – an important skill to have throughout the maths curriculum and beyond!
In Geography, we will be journeying to Africa! We will explore the climate, the different cultures and the animals which live there. We will be comparing this to the UK, thinking about the physical and human features and Africa’s location in relation to the equator.
We can’t wait to get stuck into our new topics this term and share our achievements and newfound knowledge!
