Welcome to Purple Class!

 

Hello everyone and welcome back for the summer term!

 

We are Purple class and we are in Year 2. There are currently 29 children in our class. I am Mr. Chase and our LSA is Mrs. Weaver.

 

This term our theme for the block is ‘How do living things survive in the ocean?’ We will be learning about the animals and plants that can be found in different habitats and microhabitats locally and around the world. For more details, please see the ‘Block 3 Parent Topic Overview for Parents’ document. We will be using scenes from the film ‘A Turtle’s Tale’ to help inspire us when we write. We will also be visiting Cudmore Grove on Mersea Island on 25^th June to explore a coastal habitat.

 

The end of Key Stage 1 SATs assessments for Year 2 pupils will begin on the week beginning 11^th May. This will include arithmetic, reasoning and reading papers. Please help the children do their best by making sure they get a good night’s sleep and have breakfast each morning.

 

Our PE days are still Tuesday and Wednesday each week. For the second half of the term we will also have cricket lessons run by Centurion Community Cricket.

 

The Year 2 leavers’ assembly will take place on Tuesday 14^th July in the school hall. All are welcome to attend our end of year celebration. There will also be a Year 2 visit to Frinton-on-Sea beach on the 15^th July.

 

Please continue to check our fortnightly emails for weekly activities and teaching videos. These help prepare children for their upcoming learning. If you have any questions about anything, please feel free to speak to me before or after school.

 

Thanks for reading!
