The Great Fire of London (History)

In this project we will be comparing London now with London of 1666 and then focus on the events leading upto the Great Fire of London, its cause and the effect it had on London.

Reading

The decodable books that children read with an adult in class, will be set online through the eCollins Big Cat website. The texts that they are reading in school, can be accessed online through a phone, tablet or computer so that they can read at home. If you need another copy of your child's log in details for the website, please ask the Year 2 staff. If you are unable to access the books online, or would still like your child to have a physical copy of the book then it can be arranged that they are sent home, however, they must be returned in pristine condition and on time to allow other groups to conduct reading sessions in school. In addition to your child decodable text we will send a home a 'Reading for Pleasure' book every Friday. This will be a book of your child's choice which will need to be returned the following Wednesday so that it can be changed ready for Friday.

Homework & Spellings

Please send your child in with their book bag each Wednesday to receive their Maths and English homework along with their weekly reading book. Spellings are also sent home every Friday for testing the following week. The words chosen will include common exception words and words which include the spelling rule focus for the week.
