As you may, or may not know the Rugby World Cup 2011 kicks off tomorrow morning in New Zealand. As a class we will be using the Rugby World Cup to support our work in Maths and other subjects across the curriculum.
As with previous classes during the Football World Cup children in Year 2 have each been given a nation to follow/support during the tournament. Due to the smaller number of teams that take part in a Rugby World Cup compared to a Football World Cup each nation will have two pupils following/supporting them. While proving to be great fun, I also hope that this will encourage our pupil’s global awareness and geographical understanding. You should now have received a letter with this information in as well as details of your child's nation. If you haven't then please see me or Mrs. Webb. As well as following/supporting their nation, I have encouraged the class to complete some home learning on their nation during the next couple of weeks and will provide an opportunity for pupils to share their learning in a special session on Friday 30th September. In previous years, pupils engaged in similar projects have made posters, booklets or PowerPoint presentations about their country to share with the class. We look forward to seeing all the pupil's home learning projects. Mr. Spracklen on behalf of the Year 2 Team.
