Week commencing 5th December 2016

In English this week we have revisited The Night Pirates and the children have composed and written their own pirate story putting everything into practise that they have learnt this term.
The children have also been using their comprehension skills in an end of term assessment.

In maths we have been completing end of term assessments and completing different Christmas-themed maths activities.

In topic we are finishing off our Pirate topic with some map-work and the children will learn about pirate trade routes and how pirates used maps to plan attacks and hide treasure.  They will then create their own map of their journey to school, identify the best places to hide treasure and label the main compass points.

Just a reminder that next Monday, 12th December, is the Year 2 reading event - all children are invited to come to school in their PJs and will need to bring uniform to change into afterwards.

The library van is also visiting next Monday so please remember to send in library cards and any books that need returning for then.

Next Wednesday is Christmas lunch day.  There will no no jacket potatoes or school packed lunches that day, so if your child does not want the Christmas dinner please send a packed luch from home.

Finally, at the end of a very exciting week we will be supporting Christmas Jumper Day on Friday 16th December and look forward to seeing the children in their festive gear!!
