Year 2 - Week 5

Hi everyone, we hope you've had a good weekend and enjoyed the sun today!

We can't believe we are about to start our final week of the Spring Term. One term left until the end of Year 2!!

In Maths we completed our mass, capacity and temperature unit. Next week we will be doing Maths assessments and consolidating our learning. In English we continued with our text 'Grandad's Camper'. Children planned the next adventure after the story and will be writing these stories next week.

Our farm trip has been rescheduled for Tuesday! Please ensure children come in with wellies and a waterproof coat. Children can choose to wear their own trousers, but we do ask that they wear school tops. Please can you pass this on to families who you may not regularly read the blogs. Thank you!

Home learning is stated below:

We will see you tomorrow for another fun filled week in Year 2!

We were all super proud of them!

Memory object for English - Year 2

Hi all,

For English next week children need to bring in an object that holds a memory for them. This can be anything that is significant to them and reminds them of a good memory. If you don't want them to bring in the actual object, they can bring in a picture of it. Alternatively, you can send me a picture of it and I will print it out. It is important that children bring this in for Monday's lesson. Please could you let other parents know who may not look at the blog.

Any questions, let me know!
