Barn Owl - Year 2


Barn Owls 

Welcome back Barn Owls!

Hello! Hope you all had a lovely half-term break! This term we will become explorers as we venture to the rainforest in Borneo as rainforest explorers. Using Mantle of the Expert we will become very convincing volunteers on a mission to stop deforestation and save the homes of the orangutans! Throughout this topic we will continue to explore world habitats in Science, design a buggy that will allow us to travel through the rainforest effectively in DT as well as compare human and physical geographical features of Chelmsford and Borneo in a series of topic lessons.

I will share your child's learning, home learning and key information on our class Tapestry page and look forward to seeing some of the things you are doing at home too! 

Reading at Home

We love reading at Barnes Farm Infant School and all children will be taking part in our school reading game where they earn certificates for their reading achievements. Please make sure reading at home is recorded in your child's reading record at least 4 times each week, so they can be awarded certificates when they reach certain milestones!
