Team Okai (Yr 2)

Well, here we are at the half-way point of Year 2, how time has flown! Please see below for some key information for this term:

On Tuesday we celebrated Safer Internet Day at RAPS. Safer Internet Day is a global campaign to promote the safe and responsible use of technology to help to create a better Internet for everyone.

We would be delighted if you could join us in celebrating the day by continuing the conversation at home! To help you with this, there are some free activities and information for parents and carers which are available at: saferinternet.org.uk/SID-parents. there are top tips, quizzes and films which you can use at home with your child.

Our current book is the wonderful 'Burger Boy'. We have been reading the story and comparing it to the traditional tale of the 'Gingerbread Man'. We also created a puppet show to help sequence the story, lots of fun was had by all!

During week commencing 27th February we are running a special oracy week across the school.

All classes will be exploring the joys of speaking and listening and children will have the chance to take part in special workshops and events. Keep an eye on our blogs to see what we get up to!

On Tuesday 28th, we are inviting parents along for a workshop all about oracy. This will be a great chance to hear about all we do to promote excellent talk at RAPS and to get some ideas to promote talk at home with your child. See the poster for more information about the event. The workshop is first come first served so contact the office ASAP to book your place.

Our first text this term is the wonderful 'I will not ever, never eat a tomato' by Lauren Child, part of the fabulous Charlie & Lola series of books.

We have been sequencing the story and creating story maps in preparation for writing a series of letters between Lola, her parents and best friend Lotta.

Ask me the features of formal and informal letters... 

Our topic this term is 'Healthy Minds, Healthy Bodies'.
