Welcome to Purple Class!

Happy new year everyone and welcome back to school for the spring term. We are Purple class and we are in Year 2. There are currently 29 children in our class. Our teacher is Mr. Chase and our LSA is Mrs. Weaver.

This term we will be learning about the Roman period of history as we ask ‘Who were the Romans?’ We will become more familiar with Roman achievements, homes, the destruction of Pompeii due to the Vesuvius eruption, Boudicca’s revolt, food, weapons and beliefs. We will also be visiting the Roman Circus on the 3^rd of March to learn more about our city’s importance 2,000 years ago.

In Science we will be comparing materials and learning about the properties of materials and their suitability for different products and purposes in real life. We will be carrying out a wide range of experiments in class as we test different materials for their strength, waterproofing and other properties.

Our P.E. days are now Tuesday and Wednesday. Please make sure that your P.E. bag is in school with a white t-shirt, red shorts and plimsolls or trainers. It is also useful to have tracksuit trousers/jogging bottoms now that the weather is colder.

Please continue to read the fortnightly emails that have optional home learning links and activities to explore. If you have any questions about anything please feel free to speak to me before or after school. You can also send an email to m.chase@kingsford-inf.essex.sch.uk

Thanks for reading!
