Transition to Class 2

13/6/2022

Year 2 pupils have really enjoyed their first two transition afternoons with Class 2.  Last week they learnt and  performed some dance activities, followed by some geography.  This week they have continued with their geography; using maps and atlases to learn about rivers around the world.  Year 2 will continue to have weekly transition sessions, in class 2, until the end of term.

Class 2 used oil pastels to create their own contemporary impression of the Pentecost.  This artwork was then presented to Reverend Brook, when he came in to school to talk about what the Pentecost means to Christians, as part of this term's Religious Education learning.

Visit to Coldharbour Mill.

As part of Class 2's history project on the industrial revolution, the children enjoyed a visit to Coldharbour Textile Mill and working Wool Museum in Uffculme, East Devon.  It really brought their learning to life; they experienced the cottage industry of wool weaving through to the intensely noisy and busy factory environment of the steam powered weaving looms.

All children are expected to complete the following each week:
​
  1. Spelling – Children will be explicitly taught statutory spellings
  2. through morphology, etymology and other creative ideas. Children will also have a selection of words to learn each week at home, which they will be tested on each Monday. We do encourage that you test or practice these spellings at home as this will further consolidate your children’s knowledge of the English language. These spellings are essential for writing / spelling assessments that take place during the year.
  3. Times tables – Year 3 children are expected to learn their 2,3,4,5,8 and 10 times tables, Year 4,5 and 6 up to 12 x 12. Knowledge of times tables form a vital foundation for many mathematical topics covered in the year.
  4. Times Tables Games (maths-games.org)
  5. Reading – Children are expected to read 5 x per week with an adult. Parents and carers are required to record the reading by writing in their reading records. 


​Homework projects / spelling / times tables: Activities and projects will be set half termly. Homework tasks consolidate learning taking place in school. Studies have shown that home learning can be extremely important in a child’s cognitive development.

The children will get more out of the homework projects if they apply themselves correctly and these are designed to encourage creativity. Children who rush their projects and do not spend an appropriate time on them will not gain the benefits of our homework policy.

Project homework tasks are for EVERY child to engage in. Choose one task to complete this half term and another to complete next half term. Please bring all homework into school on or before Monday 18th October so that it can be displayed and celebrated on Thursday 21st from 9-9.15 in the school hall, to which you are all welcome.

Thank you for the ongoing support with your child’s home learning,
Mrs Dickinson.

As part of our learning in RE this week we walked through the village to St Petrock's to find out about the features of a church. We looked at the tower, the stained glass windows, the bells, the pews and the alter. The children's behaviour was exemplary and they asked lots of very thoughtful questions.

European Day of Languages

​This week we have been celebrating European Day of Languages. This is a special day for linguists to celebrate the variety of different languages spoken across Europe. The children learnt about why it is important to learn other languages with Mrs Dickinson, and then made posters.

Mrs Jordan teaches French across Dartmoor Multi Academy Trust and was very impressed with the colourful and well-presented posters. Wren’s poster highlighted that you don’t need to be fluent to communicate in another language. Jessica’s poster included lots of benefits of language learning and including the fact that 75% of the world’s population speak no English at all. Millie stated that learning languages are good for your brain and fun to learn. Emily commented on her poster that learning another language helps you understand your own language. Theo wrote that the joy of learning another language is that you also learn about different cultures.  

This week in our French lesson we learnt that Switzerland, Belgium, and Luxembourg also have French as an official language. It would be wonderful if children could do some research at home to identify other countries across the world that have French as an official language. We also learnt how to have an introductory conversation in French and how to spot France on a map.

Mrs Jordan looks forward to teaching Class 2 every Thursday afternoon. ​
