A hard working Year 2 classroom!

We have been really impressed by the way the children are involved in their own learning; plenty of children doing extra pieces of home learning that they have been enjoying also a feeling in the classroom of all children trying their best. I hear we've even been singing and sharing our harvest song at home!
Today in literacy the children were completing sequencing the story of Little Red Riding Hood and practising the skills of using speech marks correctly which has been the focus this week.
In maths, practice of inverse machines, writing numbers as words, adding and subtracting numbers have been skills we've been honing this week.
Most children did manage a library change today unless they were reading with an adult. If your child is 'ploughing' through books and once a week change is not enough then please do come in in the morning to change books. We have also clarified today what colour your child should be on, any questions then please ask a member of the team.
Spellings have gone out today, sound focus this week is 'er' sound, which can be spelt; er, ir, or ear. We are also going to focus on a day of the week per weekly spellings, this week the day is 'Monday'. The children will be tested next Friday, if they use and fill in the 'Look, cover and write sheet' then they will also be rewarded in class for their home learning which is key at the beginning of getting 'homework'.
Please do feel free to come in and ask about any part of the learning process in Year 2!
