Welcome to Pegasus Class 

Hi, my name is Miss Sheridan and I will be Pegasus Class teacher. On a Thursday Mrs Gately will be teaching the children, which I know they will be excited about. 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. 

Summer Term

Muck, Mess and Mixture 

In Pegasus Class this term, our topic is ‘Muck, Mess and Mixture”. Over the term we will take a cross curricular approach involving English, Maths, Science, History, Geography, Music, DT and Computing. In literacy we will focus on two high quality key texts: ‘George's Marvellous Medicine' by Roald Dahl and ‘The Day The Crayons Quit' by Drew Daywalt. The children will write recipes, recounts, letters and poems. I can't wait to watch the children flourish as we take on the Summer 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 two synergy points. The children will change their reading and libary books every Thursday. 

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.
