Pegasus Class
Welcome back!
We hope that you have had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas, and wish you a happy 2026!
We are looking forward to another busy term with the children. Please find below an over view of our curriculum coverage for the Spring.
As ever, please do not hesitate to contact us of you have any questions or would like a meeting with us.
Spring Term
Where my wings take me..!
In Pegasus this term our topic is ‘Where my wings take me..!’ and it is all about dragons! 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 high quality key texts, including ‘How to train your dragon’ by Cressida Cowell. The children will write stories, recipes, recounts, letters and poems.
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 books on a Monday and library books every Friday.
Spelling
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. Spellings will be set on a Friday and the children will then have a test on these words the following Friday.
