Welcome to the Bear's Class!

We are a year 2/3 class and we work closely with the Meerkats class. Our teacher is Mrs Jane Lewis and our class assistants are Mrs Jane Bazire and Mrs Su Crook.

As a class we seem to be gripped by Ancient Egyptian fever at the moment. We are really excited and many of us have brought in artefacts from home. We have been finding out all about Tutankhamun, Pyramids and mummification, amongst other fascinating facts about this ancient civilization.

As well as most of us continuing with 'Ruth Miskin' every morning we will be covering lots of different topics in our literacy hour. In numeracy we will be making sure our number bonds are secure and learning our tables.

We are very lucky that we have a beautiful garden and we shall spend as much time as possible there. We will be learning all about how things grow by growing lots of our own fruit and vegetables. Yummy! So that we keep our shoes clean we all need to keep a pair of Wellington boots in school to wear when we are gardening in damp weather. Also in science we shall be experimenting with magnets. In Geography Barnaby Bear will be visiting Bridgwater soon and we will be comparing the weather here with that in Egypt. On Wednesdays we will be learning French with Dr. Johnson, and our main P.E. session will be on Tuesdays. We will need to keep our P.E. kits in school at all times. For our R.E. we shall spend time talking and thinking about our families and new beginnings. Homework will be given weekly and we shall have spellings to learn and also our tables, as well as reading (more about this later).

We are looking forward to working on our Christmas production which we will be performing with the Meerkats. It will be great to have the chance to learn some new songs, dress up and impress our Mums and Dads!
