Trips so far this year
| Danby Education Centre - 23/10/23 |

At Danby the children will use geographical skills and fieldwork to describe the location of features and routes on a map; use aerial photographs and plans to recognise landmarks and features; use and construct basic symbols in a key. |
| Hartlepool Marina Naval Museum - 31/1/24 |
|
To consolidate our history topic Pirate or Privateer? We are taking the children to Hartlepool Marina Naval museum where they will experience an educational workshop where your child will experience a full day guided tour and workshop. |
Home Learning: We will send home a dojo message on a weekly basis detailing what the homework is for that week. Usually it will be Rapid Recall learning and Spellings.
- Reading: Every child is expected to read each night. Please try to hear your child read, sign their reading record and make sure that they bring their reading book and reading record into school each day so that the staff can hear them reading their books.
Big Cat Ebooks and Mathletics are also available for children to use at home.
If your child has lost their log in, just drop your teacher a message on Dojo and we can provide you with it.

Year 2 this term
Following on from our learning in Year 1 on materials, this half-term we will be challenging ourselves to look more closely at what makes some materials the correct ones to choose and what makes some incorrect.
This half-term in Art, we will be answering the question 'Can you make a sculpture from anything?' After investigating some famous sculptors and visiting The Yorkshire Sculpture Park, we will be using all our new skills and adding them to everything we will know from our STEM topic of 'materials' to make our own sculptures. We are so confident our sculptures will be amazing that we will be having our own gallery to display them.
Our new text contain lots of new words that we can investigate. We will be discussing their definitions and using them in our work.
This half-term we will be exploring relationships. This organiser shows the vocabulary and skills we will be looking at and shows the questions we will be able to answer and discuss.
Even though the title of our new book is top secret, we can share some of the amazing vocabulary we are going to be looking at.
STEM this half-term will be focussing on the process of growing plants from seeds and bulbs. We will be planting seeds and conducting experiments to determine the optimal growing conditions needed.
