World Book Day in Year 2!
We had a great day celebrating World Book Day in school. Although a little later than usual in the year, it was still a good day to celebrate our love of reading and remind ourselves just how fantastic books can be.
Can you spot your favourite book character in the picture?
We are all working really hard and enjoying our new topic 'Climate Classmates'.
We are learning all about protecting our planet and finding out about pollution. We are learning about recycling. Please could you send in any plastic milk cartons? We’re going to turn them into something magical!!
Please take a look at the knowledge organiser below to find out what we will be learning.

Spring Term 2021
Hi Year Two!
This week is a little different for us all in Year 2 as everyone will be learning at home, including me! That means that if you have been in class, but are now at home there is a home learning pack waiting for you to pick up from school on Monday. This means we can all continue to learn, whilst we are apart.
You have all worked so hard whether you have been in school or learning from home. Your messages and completed work are amazing and the photographs that are sent in from home make everyone smile in class and when using our class page. THANK YOU!
So in Week 5, we will be writing a letter home in the style of Sunny the Meerkat, working on Tally Charts and Pictograms in Maths and investigating Food Chains in Science. We have an Art and Computing Competition to keep us busy too. As always, your work is set out below for each subject and please keep sending completed work to me by email if you are working remotely. Home learning packs can be picked up from school on a Monday and returned on a Friday for marking.
I hope you chose some of the activities from the Children's Mental Health Week work and the assembly will remain on our web page together with all of our past learning.
This week there is a lovely story about Captain Sir Tom Moore who raised lots of money for the NHS this year. He sadly passed away this week, but the story of '100 Steps' tells his life story. I hope that you enjoy it.
I have also recorded a story for us all to share even though we can't be together at the moment. It is one of my favourite books and I hope that you enjoy it with your family whilst being at home.
Keep working hard and looking after each other at home.
Stay safe and well.
Mrs Bramley
Please send your fantastic work to gillian.bramley@st-pauls.stockport.sch.uk

PSHE
An inspirational story for you to listen to ...
PSHE Learning with the Oak Academy
Personal, Social, Health and Economic (PSHE) education allows pupils to develop the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to manage their lives, now and in the future. These skills and attributes help pupils to stay healthy, safe and prepare them for life and work in modern Britain.
In class we enjoy Circle Times to share our ideas and thoughts with our class friends, role play scenarios and our class books to record our work. Whilst we are learning at home, the Oak Academy video lessons are a great way to keep us up to date with our PSHE learning and share it with our families.

A habitat must provide everything that a living thing (organism) needs to survive. Some habitats need to be hot and some habitats need to be cold. A camel couldn't survive in the cold and a polar bear couldn't survive in the heat.
Below there is an activity. We would like you to match the animals to their habitat. Can you write some sentences to say what the habitat provides.
There are some links below of different habitats for you to look at.
TOPIC WORK
Kalahari Fact File
This week we are making a fact file all about the amazing Kalahari Desert. Please use the links to read lots of interesting facts about the Kalahari. You can cut some of the facts out and stick them in your fact file with the pictures, or you can copy some of the facts in your neatest handwriting. You can even research some of your own facts and include these too. Have fun making your Kalahari Fact File!
'Pack a Suitcase' task
Think about what you would pack for a trip and why you would choose to take those items.
Then draw them in the suitcase with careful colouring and write down each item in the box with a reason why you have chosen it. Have fun and happy packing!

Reading in Year 2
At St Paul's we love reading! Our goal is to instil a life-long love for reading and we want our children to take pleasure in all that reading can bring. Reading at St Paul's is designed to develop and enable ALL children to reach their full potential. We aim for our children to leave school as confident and fluent readers.
We introduce children to a variety of literature through structured guided reading lessons, storytime, links with the local library, celebrating world book day and books are used as a stimulus for learning in other areas of the curriculum.
We know how important it is to hear children read. Our reading sessions are designed so that each child can read and discuss a book with the teacher and class teaching assistant. Children will also have opportunities to read with a reading volunteer where possible.
We value the contributions parents and carers make to the teaching of reading. Each child has a reading record which parents/carers and teachers complete. This record is a means of communicating about your child’s reading.
