WHERE MY WINGS TAKE ME

Happy new year and welcome back! We hope you had an enjoyable Christmas holiday. Throughout this year we aim to develop the children’s increasing independence and personal responsibility at Aylesford, they are all growing so quickly and it is a privilege to behold. I am Miss Sheridan, Pegasus Class teacher. On a Thursday Mrs Gately will be teaching the children, which I know they will be very excited about! 

Autumn Term

In Pegasus Class this term, our topic is 'Where my wings take me.....' and it's all about Dragons! We will take a cross curricular approach involving English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Music, DT and Computing. I can't wait to see their creativity and imagination shine this term!

Reading

Reading at home as well as in school is very important for children to develop and progress. In Year 2, they should be exposed to a variety of different texts from narrative stories to non-fiction and poetry. Children should be able to answer prediction questions and explain what they have read. It is important for them to also be able to answer questions about the characters and use evidence from the text to support their answers clearly. 

Once you have listened to your child read, please sign their Reading Record. Once children have read three or more times a week, they will receive a star in their record and on a chart in school to earn an achievement. 

This is a platform for children to practise their weekly spellings on. Each week, children will learn a new spelling rule and practise their spellings in school. They will then be set an assignment to support this and can complete activities on Spelling Shed to enhance their learning at home.

In addition, we may send work home for your child to complete at home if we feel they may benefit from it. Thank you for your support with this.
