Welcome to Class 2!

Mrs Weston, Mrs Howell and Miss Passingham would like to warmly welcome you to Class 2. We hope you have had a nice summer with your families and are looking forward to getting back into school for lots of fun and exciting learning. We hope that you have all had chance to view the 'welcome to Class 2' video that we posted onto Teams before the summer and that you have all had a go at the summer homework we set at the beginning of the holidays. We look forward to sharing this together in class and seeing what you have done. 

This half term our topic is called.......

Throughout the project, we will find out how to recognise different plants and animals and create detailed, observational drawings of them. The tale of Hansel and Gretel will inspire us to write our own stories with a woodland theme. We’ll build miniature dens, create woodland works of art and construct mini-woodlands from twigs, sticks, pine cones and leaves.
