Welcome back to a new school year!

We welcome to BHS, Mrs Detaramani, the 2A class teacher and Mrs Nisha, the EA in 2D.

The children have been getting used to their new routines and finding out about each other.  All the children have started making new friends and have discussed an essential agreement for their class.

The children’s diaries contain their weekly timetable and important passwords. This must be brought to school every day in their plastic zip up pocket.

On Monday, the children will take home a reading book and reading journal which must also be kept in the plastic pocket and brought to school each day. Please sign your child’s reading journal when you have finished reading and discussing the book together.

All children need to wear their PE kit on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

Your child will need to bring their red book bag to school on Tuesday when they will visit the library. Children without a book bag will not be allowed to take books home.

Central idea: Lifestyle choices can affect human health and well-being

Lines of inquiry:

1. What it means to have a balanced lifestyle
2. The choices we make affect our health
3. Lifestyle changes

The children will be developing their understanding of a healthy lifestyle. They will start to discuss the 5 elements of a healthy lifestyle – exercise, hygiene, relaxation, relationships and nutrition.

The children will create some artwork based on healthy lifestyles.

CENTRAL IDEA: We represent numbers and number relationships using the place value system

Please give your child the opportunity to explore Reading Eggs (username/password in diary).
