Year 2: A fantastic writing week!

What a fantastic Inspired to Learn writing week we have had! The children started the week describing the Big Bad Wolf. They then spent some time writing some Kindness cards. On Wednesday we followed a recipe to make our very own gingerbread people and then they wrote these up. In the afternoon they decorated them. 

In Science we have been looking at habitats of woodlice. 

Today we had a fantastic Christmas craft day followed by us walking to the postbox around the corner to post our special letters. 

We have sent home all the lines for the Winter performance. Some children chose not to have lines. There will be no home learning over the next couple of weeks. Instead, please support your child to learn their lines. If you wanted to do any home learning then times tables are always good to practice. 

Have a lovely weekend

Year 2: The start of our writing week

We hope you all enjoyed walking through our new Inspired to Learn corridor. It marks the beginning of our writing week. We have lots of writing planned for the week. Today we started writing about the wolf using noun phrases. 

 

Year 2: Week 3

 We have had a very exciting week this week. Yesterday I shared the snow day pictures with you. It was such an exciting day and today the ice made it too dangerous to be outside. However the children dealt with this so well. 

This week the children have listened to their lines for the winter performance. Next week we will hand these out to practice at home. In English we have finished our writing on wolves. The children wrote a leaflet with subheadings explaining about where wolves live, why they howl and what colour they are. 

In Maths this week we have been subtracting and adding using a number line. The children did find this difficult so the home learning this week is more practice of this. 

On Wednesday they had Forest School and was making dens. (Forest school is not on next week). 

The leaf insects have also been out this week. 

You will all have your special envelope that is going to set the scene for the launch of our special inspired to learn writing week on The Jolly Christmas postman. If your child isn't familiar with the book it would be great if you could read it over the weekend or if you don't have a copy I expect there is one on you tube. I will share pictures throughout the week. We can't wait for this!
