Hawthorn Class Information
Coming in and Leaving School
Hawthorn children will come in to school in the morning from 8:45am to 8:55am by the side of Hawthorn Classroom, this is exactly the same place as where we came in for Oak and Lilac Class. At home time the children will come out by the side of Hawthorn Class (where you dropped them off) at 3:30pm. Please wait outside the gate and we will bring the children to you.
Homework
Spellings will be part of the homework .
Other homework will be set on a Friday to be handed in on a Monday. This is likely to be Maths or English but may also be other areas of the curriculum e.g. History or Geography research
Reading
All children will receive a home reading book. Please encourage your child to read to an adult for at least 5 minutes each day. Books will be changed once it has been completed. Please ensure their reading record is signed then we can facilitate this.
PE
PE will be on a Tuesday . Please continue to send your child into school in their PE kit.
Spellings
Each week your child will have 10 spellings to learn. 1These will be based on the spelling rule that the children will have been practising that week and some of the spellings will be from the high frequency words that the Year 2 children need to learn.
English
This half term we will be looking at the story of The Lion Inside by Rachel Bright and Jim Field.
This is a lovely story about a mouse that is very shy and quiet and wants to be more like the lion who he believes is strong, shouty and important. But all is not quite what it seems and mouse finds out that you shouldn't always judge a book by its cover.

Spellings
This week the spellings have been taken from the list of Year 2 high frequency words as we have been learning about possessive apostrophes which would have been a bit tricky to do as a spelling test!
Spellings sent home for spelling test on Friday 2nd May are
you might notice that some of the words have been done on previous spelling tests. We are repeating them because of frequent misspellings e.g. with is being spelt whith.
