We hope you have had an amazing Easter break and are well rested for a busy half term full of exciting new things!

In our English lessons, we will be reading ‘The Queen’s Hat’. This will open lots of writing opportunities to expand on the learning your children have done so far in year 2. We will be writing letters, diary entries and looking at using adjectives to enhance our descriptions. While writing we will try to remember all the grammar taught so far and how to apply this properly.
We have introduced Spelling Shed into St Anne’s and your children will be coming home with their logins, please encourage them to practice their spellings using this as much as possible!
Please continue to do the fantastic job of encouraging your child to read at home both with the reading
books sent home and on bug club! We have already seen a huge improvement of all the children’s reading ability which would not be possible without your support!

In Maths, we will be starting to tell the time. We will begin by recapping telling the time to the nearest hour and half an hour before moving on to quarter past/quarter to and to the nearest 5 minutes. Finally we will find the duration of time passed and look at comparing this with other durations of time.
We are continuing with our weekly times tables test, starting with the 10 times table and moving onto 2s and 5s. Keep practicing your maths skills on Times Tables Rockstars and Numbots.

Our WTL topic this half term is Eastertide. We will be looking at why the tomb was empty on Easter Sunday and what this means to us as Christians. We will then move on to look at the Ascension and Pentecost, looking specifically at the role the disciples played after Jesus death.

Our theme this half term is ‘ The Queen’s Platinum Jubilee’.. We will be looking at the significance of the Platinum Jubilee and the life of Queen Elizabeth II as the longest-reigning British monarch.

Our PE day is on a Tuesday, so please come dressed in your PE kit!

All children need to have a water bottle that stays in school. Please, if you haven’t already, send one in with your child.
