TERM 6 WEEK 6: 9/7/25

 

Just a gentle reminder that Pokémon cards, football cards, and similar items should not be brought into school, as they can cause distractions and sometimes get lost or traded unfairly.

 

Also, for safety reasons, we kindly ask that no electrical devices such as fans be brought into school.

 

Looking ahead to next week, we’re excited to be making castles as part of our history topic! Please could your child bring in a medium-sized box to use for their project. A shoe box or cereal box would be ideal. Thank you very much for your continued support!

 

 

This week in L2, the children have had a fantastic time finishing our class story The Iron Man. They’ve been working hard to summarise the key events and have enjoyed using their imaginations to write their own creative endings. In maths, we’ve been consolidating our understanding of pictograms—practising how to draw them accurately and interpret the data they show.

 

In history, we’ve been learning about royal residences and have started planning our own imaginative designs. Meanwhile, in art, the children have been developing their sewing skills, showing great patience and perseverance.

Reading:

Children should be reading everyday and once a week this can be logged on Boom Reader: 

https://www.boomreader.co.uk/parents

  • All children who are on RWI will bring home a RWI Reading book each Friday, please return them the following Thursday. 
  • Children in Year 2 also begin to bring home a book from the Discovery Centre which is levelled according to the Accelerated Reader (AR) scheme  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/accelerated-reader-1/

      These books can be returned and swapped as soon as they are finished. There is also a quiz                    associated with these books which children must complete after they have finished each AR book:  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/year-2-1/

 

Some children will bring home both a RWI Reading book and an AR levelled reading book - please read both with your child. Both books should be left in their bags so they can read them at school, as well as at home, to enhance their fluency.
