We became scientists and investigated how far and fast germs can spread!

Welcome back to school.

This term, we will be continuing to learn about Florence Nightingale. We will be finding out more about the changes she made to the hospitals.

The two texts we will be learning about in English are: The Lonely Beast and Into the Forest.

 

We are planning another ‘Celebration of Learning’ towards the end of this term. The children really enjoyed sharing their learning with you. Details to follow.

In year 2 the children had some interesting discussions relating to staying safe on the internet. They worked in pairs to answer questions about what is the right and wrong thing to do when they are online.

As part of our ‘Florence Nightingale’ topic, the children were lucky enough to have a visit from a nurse. They enjoyed learning about life as a nurse today, some of her duties, uniform and how busy the job is! They also got the opportunity to ask some interesting questions!

Please find attached the home learning grid for this term. There are some key skills we would like the children to focus on – times table facts and spelling of the Year 1 and Year 2 common exception words.
