Year Two using "Accelerated Reader Scheme"

All of the children in Year Two have now selected a book (from within their book band) and are making a start on the "Accelerated Reader Scheme".
Hopefully all parents have received a letter explaining how we are using the scheme, indicating your child's book band level and their login details for taking the "quizzes" that accompany the books.
If your letter didn't find its way home, or you need another letter, please let me know.
Happy Reading (and Quiz-taking)!

Year Two Home Learning - Wed 3rd Oct - Eco Poster

Home Learning - Year Two  Wednesday 3rd October

Eco Poster Competition

For their “home learning” this week, we would like the children in Year Two to design a poster to promote recycling.

We intend to enter the children’s posters into a competition run by Dorset County Hospital, so please ensure that all pictures are clearly identifiable with each child’s name.

The closing date for this competition is actually after half term holiday on 1st November, but we thought we would set this as a “home learning” task well in advance of this date.

Poster Details for the Competition

Pictures on A4 sized white paper blank unlined, unsquared.

Pictures by the children are to be colourful, but in any form.

Encourage the children to use an image or theme that will fill the sheet of paper

The theme is to encourage the use of recycling and how the varying ages interpret this from what they have seen at home, at school, in a supermarket, in surrounding areas and through public information services.  

The prize is for the winner of each level to have their picture created into a poster for use around Dorset County Hospital NHS Foundation Trust to help promote and encourage recycling of waste, with plans to promote this locally.
