Class Codes
In Year 2 we try really hard to use the school RICHER values in all that we do.
Our school values are:
In our classes we have designed our own class charter with rules which we think are important.
We always use our RICHER values:
Respectful
Independent
Caring
Helpful
Equal
Resilient
Children who demonstrate good RICHER values are rewarded with dojos, special RICHER value stickers, and can even be chosen to be a RICHER value champion!
The children have been learning about the characters who are based on the RICHER values.
Autumn Term 1
This term we will be super scientists as we learn more about trees, plants and flowers. We will be trying to answer some of the following questions:
* How many deciduous trees can you spot?
* What is a deciduous tree?
* How many evergreen trees can you see?
* Can you match the leaves to the trees?
* What does a plant need to grow?
* Will a plant grow without soil?
Autumn Term 2
This term we will be super scientists as we learn more about humans and animals.
On the run up to Christmas, it is a busy, fun and magical time of year. It's all gone a bit Christmassy here at River View! Here you will find out about everything we are learning linked to Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. This year we will be following Mr Scrooge’s journey as he is visited by the three ghosts of Christmas. We cannot wait to share our learning with you.
We had a fantastic workshop learning about characters in the story of 'A Christmas Carol.'
It was really useful to know what Ebenezer Scrooge was like when we wrote a character description of him in our English lesson.
