Year 2 - Week 4 - Spring term

Hello everyone, we hope you've had a wonderful weekend!

This week in year 2 has been another fun filled and busy week. In Maths we finished our multiplication and division topic. This week we will be starting to look at a new unit of fractions. In Literacy we looked at the book Traction Man and created our own expanded noun phrases. We also carried on the story and added in a new character. This week we will be looking at past and present tense. In Science we continued to look at animals including humans. We will be focusing on what a healthy diet consists of and how exercise can help us to stay healthy. 

Tomorrow marks the start of our bike, walk, skate or scoot to school week. We are encouraging all children to get to school by not using a car if they can. 





See you all tomorrow!

Year 2 - Week 3 - Spring term 2

Happy Sunday everyone! We hope you have had a lovely weekend.

We have had yet another great week in Year 2. Your children truly are amazing and make me feel proud everyday. 

In Maths this week we continued with our topic of multiplication and division. Next week we will be finishing this topic and starting our topic of fractions. In English this week we looked at the book 'The day the crayons quit' which helped us to create some incredible writing about objects around the classroom that are fed up. This week we will be looking at expanded noun phrases using the book 'traction man'. In Science we looked at what humans and animals needed to survive. We will be continuing to look at similar topics this week. In History we have been exploring the lives of Florence Nightingale and Mary Seacole. 

Just a reminder that Year 2 passports are due in tomorrow for Mr Spracklen to look at. It is also a non-school uniform day on Friday for Red Nose Day. We will also be holding a bake sale on this day. 

See you all tomorrow!

Year 2 are amazing!

I wanted to start this blog with a big WELL DONE to all the children in Year 2 for putting on a fantastic assembly. Thank you to all of the families that came, your children really were amazing and worked so hard! Thank you for the support at home with reading and learning lines. It was great to show you some of the learning we have been doing in Year 2.

This week has been very busy and we have taken part in some amazing learning and activities. World book day was a great success and all children looked great in their costumes. We were also lucky enough to take part in a calypso music lesson with an amazing visitor called Alex. Year 2 wrote their own song and performed it in assembly.

Some of your children may have come home and spoken about 'secret agent training'. This is what I am calling our SATS preparation lessons. As I don't want any children getting anxious, worried or stressed about these I have rebranded them. I have told the children they will be training to be secret agents. Which involves them completing different activities. The focus for these sessions are Maths, Writing and Reading. The children are so engaged and finding it fun as they want to become a secret agent. I have also explained how there will be some secret agent tests in a few months to see if they have successfully become a secret agent. After the SATS all children will be receiving a certificate to say that have completed their training and they are now secret agents. Just wanted to update you on what this was and would ask that you keep the real reason of this to yourselves. Children are so engaged and I don't want this engagement to stop. 

Tomorrow we are dressing up in sports kits in aid of the Duchenne charity. Please send all children in wearing their sports kits. 






See you all tomorrow,
