Today in our workshop with Teresa Heapy, you created your own ‘very little’ characters like her Very Little Red Riding Hood and Very Little Cinderella. This week I would like you to write your own story using your own character. See if you can make your story into a little book that you can share with the class.

The Animal Man comes to Haughmond
Today we had a visit from Simon, the Animal Man, to support our learning about animal classification in Science. We learned about mammals, reptiles, amphibians and some invertebrates and some of us even faced our fears and held creatures we were nervous of meeting!

Homework – 10th February 2023
Money
We have been learning about money in maths over the last couple of weeks. Please could you practise making specific amounts of money with different coins with your child. This could be through playing games such as shops or going to an actual shop and helping your child to pay. If possible, please also include giving change.
Year 2 – You also have a calculation using money sheet to complete. You might want to do this with your grown up.
Multiplication
Next week, we are moving on to learning how to multiply. Please could you practise the times tables at home, focusing on 2, 5 and 10 times tables. Remember, you can also log on to Times Tables Rockstars to keep practising.
Winter Science
This week we have been learning about winter in our environment and the winter weather. We have explored the signs of winter in our school garden and how it has changed since we last looked at our environment in December. We collected leaves, seeds and other things that we could find and made ice windows.
Worship Council Team Worship
Today the Key Stage Two members of Worship Council planned led their first whole school Worship. They told the story of Jeremiah linked to this term’s Christian Value of Perseverance and led the school in reflection and prayer.
Happy New Year Haughmond!
Welcome back to a new year and new term. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas!
We’ve got lots of exciting things planned this term to help our learning about our new topic – Voyages of Discovery.
We are going to be learning about significant explorers and adventurers, their achievements and the impact that they made on the world around them. We will be looking in depth at the lives of Christopher Columbus, Ernest Shackleton and Felicity Aston. In Science we will be learning about the Animal Kingdom, and will have a visit from Simon Airey, the animal man, to enhance our learning.
Our P.E. days have changed this term, while swimming lessons are ongoing. Year 2 will be swimming each Friday for 5 weeks from 17th February. Children will need to come to school in their P.E. kit every Thursday and Friday until Easter. For this term there will no P.E. on a Monday.
To find out more about the focus in our areas of learning this term, our topic map and subject knowledge organisers are available at the following links.
