How delightful it has been to welcome the happy, smiling faces of your lovely little learners into year 2 over the last few days! We have an action packed term ahead as we delve into the past and find out what made the Victorians so victorious! Let's get cracking on filling our heads with knowledge and our hearts with laughter.

Spelling Test - Fridays / Book Change - Fridays
Homework books due in Wednesdays
Reading diaries signed and in school - daily

This term we will be focusing on Victorian authors. We kick start our writing with poetry based on Robert Lewis Stevenson's poem for children - 'My Shadow'. Then we turn to fiction stories written by Hans Christian Anderson and Lewis Carroll. We might just meet an ugly duckling or perhaps bump into the Queen of Hearts. Who knows were our adventures will take us!

Continuing with a focus on the Victorians, we will look to non-fiction writing to explore the most famous Victorian of them all - Queen Victoria herself!
