Year 2: Forest School tomorrow and the week so far!

Just a reminder that the children will have Forest School tomorrow. Please can you bring in wellies and a coat/all in one. The weather tomorrow does look a little better than today but they will still need coats please. 

Thank you to everyone who was able to come the parent information session. Please do listen to the recording if you weren't able to come to the session. If you have any questions feel free to email me. 

English

This week in English the children have been thinking about what we use water for. Today they all wrote a simple list poem thinking about the sounds and movement of the water. Here is an example of one of the children's poems below: 

The rhythm of the crashing waves

The rushing of the sea against the cliff

The trickling of the brook 

We haven't shared the story with them yet but they are coming out with some amazing writing which has gone up in the writing hall of fame.

Maths

In Maths we have started our Power Maths books. So far this week we have been reminding ourselves about counting on from 10 and counting in tens to 100. Over the next couple of days we will be sending home the children's log in for numbots. It would be great if your child could practice this for 10/15 minutes a couple of times a week. This will build up their automaticity of objects in pictures. 

Science

We have been discussing a healthy balanced diet and how we should eat foods in all groups. Today in Science the children had to think about their favourite foods in the four main food groups; carbohydrates, protein, fruit and vegetables and protein. 

In Music we have be learning lots of new songs and learning how to make a pulse. In PSHE we have been thinking about our feelings and how we are feeling.
