Popokotea Class - Year 2 and 3
Welcome to Popokotea Class!
Welcome back Popokotea Class! We're now in Term 6, which is our final term together this academic year. It has been amazing to watch you all learn and grow this year. How quickly it seems to have gone!
Now that the weather is warmer, children should wear a sun hat outside every day. Please send your child with a sun hat to school and please ensure that they are named clearly. Please also check all cardigans and jumpers are still named as with the hotter weather the children do tend to take them off.
Our PE days are: Monday and Thursday
Please come to school dressed in your PE kit on these days with earrings removed and hair tied back.
Term 6 - Flow
Why are rivers wriggly?
This term we will be focusing on Geography, looking closely at different natural geographical features. From humble beginnings, the river flows down the mountain and into the sea. Pull on your wellies and wade right in. How deep does it go and how fast does it travel? What soil types can you find by the river? Which animals make their homes there? Let’s get down to the river bank and find out. Now hop on an imaginary boat and travel some of the world’s most majestic rivers – the Ganges, the Thames, the Amazon and Nile. Let’s meander through the world of rivers, taking a dip into their watery world.
We shall be starting off our topic with a river dipping geography fieldwork trip at Kearsney Abbey on the first week of the term! How exciting!
**HOME LEARNING**
Spelling home learning sheets will be handed out on a Friday and need to be handed back in before Friday the following week. Please ensure that you listen to your child read 5 times a week and that you are supporting them to login into Times Tables Rockstars and Ed Shed daily. Some children will also be bringing home a handwriting pack, this needs to be completed daily. We will be monitoring this in class. If you require further support with any of the new home learning arrangements, please find someone in Popokotea team.
