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 28 children in our class. Our teacher is Mr. Chase and our LSA is Mrs. Weaver.

This term we will be learning about the period of history from 500 years ago as we ask ‘Who were the Tudors?’ We will become more familiar with daily life in Tudor times, Tudor buildings, the reigns of King Henry VIII and Queen Elizabeth I, and local evidence of the Tudor period. We will also be taking part in a special Tudor experience day in school on the 25^th of February.

 

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 on 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. We will be taking part in weekly gymnastics and dance lessons.

 

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.

Thank you for reading!

Mr. Chase and the Purple Class team
