We completed lots over guided writing work focusing on using connectives, paragraphs, speech marks and complex sentences/sentence structure to improve our writing! Tricky, technical stuff!!!!!
This week we had the excitement of being emailed by Willy Wonka himself, allowing us to try to make one of his special sweet recipes........on one condition!!!!!! We all have to design a new sweet for his factory, he will select the best idea and the winner will be rewarded!!!!!!! Our imaginations have been running wild!!!!!!! (Dragons Den here we come!!!)
During numeracy this week we have been running lots of "workshops" revisiting sequences and patterns, reflective symmetry, pictograms and reading scales. Well done Year 2 you have challenged yourself and shown great resilience when some things have seemed difficult.
We also had the great excitement and privilege to have been asked to write letters to a school in Uganda - the children have all been busily writing letters after having seen some of the photos of the children and their school - we hope to hear from our pen pals in a few weeks!!!
Well, what can I say about the tremendous home learning projects - I have never seen such fantastic work, effort and learning!!!!! Well done!
Thank you to Mr. Cockerill who read to us last Thursday, we also had Mrs. Creed visit us and read to us today!!!!! We really are thoroughly enjoying it, it is such a wonderful end to our day - a quiet end to a busy day enjoying a good book, having reading modelled to us by everyone, demonstrating the importance of learning to read and the love of reading by all! Thank you once again - I know a couple of other parents have kindly offered and we can't wait to see you!!
Lastly there will be no spellings over the next 2 weeks as we are embarking on a very busy fortnight - pop in if you want to know further information!!!! I will send new ones for the half term.
Thank you and well done everyone!!!!!
