As well as writing about India in Literacy it will also be our focus in Geography. We made a cracking start with this today! The children all agreed that there are both similarities and differences between Silvepura and Dorset.
In RE we started looking at Hinduism. The children had to make small groups that all believe in the same cause. They had to think of a group name, something that they all believed in and then design a badge. This was fantastic and showed how well all children in Year 2 work so well together. Well done!
In Numeracy over the next couple of weeks we are looking at addition, subtraction, multiplication and place value. We will be using money, counters, 100 squares and number lines.
PE is now taken by Mrs Hibberd. This week the children have had great fun trying to read maps!
Thank you so much for making sure your child has decorated their reading journals, we have enjoyed sharing them in class. Starting from next week the children will be using the journals in their guided reading sessions so they will be kept in school during the week and then they can go home at the weekend. In Year 2 we try and encourage more independence and so with this in mind the children will be changing their own reading books during a guided reading session. If they can not wait for their slot then they can ask an adult and go and change it at some point in the day. It is really important that if your child is on a specific colour that they read a range of books in that colour.
One last thing, we are looking for a few adults that could dedicate an hour or so once a week to do some 1:1 reading to the children in Year 2, if you think that you may be able to do this then please come and see me.
Many thanks
Mrs Thorpe
