It has been a great first week back in 2L. The children have settled into the school routine really well and have produced some great work. We have started our topic 'The Polar Regions' and began it by looking at maps of the world and locating the North and South poles, discussing their climate and their features. In Science we thought about if something is living, used to alive or had never been alive. In Literacy we read the story of the Snow Queen and used it as the basis for our written work, focusing on describing words and adverbs. In Maths we used coins to make different amounts and started to solve problems involving pounds and pence.

On Wednesday we have our trip to the Snow Centre. Children should come to school in comfortable. warm clothing and bring a hat and gloves. (It would be preferable if the gloves were waterproof but any gloves will do!) The centre will provide waterproof coats, trousers, boots and helmet but they don't always provide gloves.

I discussed the homework task with the class and some children asked if they could send a video of them talking in. Please feel free to send videos or powerpoints by email to jlogan@victoriaparkinf.co.uk. Again, please don't feel that you should spend any longer than you normally would do on homework!

Thanks,

Hello and welcome back. I hope you all had a lovely break. Just a quick note to say that PE this half term will be on Monday and Tuesday. Monday will be Dance and Tuesday will be Gymnastics. Gymnastics will start this week. 

Also, our topic this half term is the Polar Regions. For homework for this week (due Wednesday 14th) I would like the children to research a Polar animal and present their research to the rest of the class. This could be a simple poster, or researched information read aloud, or a plasticine model or even a powerpoint. It only needs to be brief and is an opportunity for the class to develop speaking and listening skills. Think of it as a topic based show and tell!  We will discuss ideas in class to help the children.  

Thanks

Mr Logan
