Tennis taster and Harvest celebration.

In Year 2 this week we have been looking at money. The children have been 'buying' items and having to add up the prices and find the correct coins. We are focussing on counting in 10's, 5's and 2's. So if ever the opportunity arises that the children need to count large amounts or are interested in counting how much money they have in a piggy bank, please encourage them to count in groups. This develops their mathematical skills and allows them to add and subtract larger numbers.

It's great to see the home learning that is coming in to us in the morning. It is not just spellings that we like to see. Any accomplishment is celebrated in Year 2!

Today the children had a taster Tennis session with Fran from St Osmond's Sports Centre. They all had a brilliant time and learnt some new skills.

Just a quick reminder about the Harvest Assembly on Friday at 9.20am. The children will be performing and you will get a chance to see some of the art work that the children have been creating. Every child needs to bring in 20p so that they can buy something from the Harvest Café. I will take Year 2 to the hall to spend their 20p's after lunch on Friday.

We will then take the cake/bread back to our classroom where they can eat their goodies. At 2.30pm parents can come and collect their child and take them to the Harvest Café themselves. You can then enjoy your afternoon with cakes/bread and refreshments. If you are taking your child at 2.30pm please make sure you sign them out in our classroom and see an adult in Year 2.

Have a fantastic Harvest Celebration!
