Year 2 - Week 3

Hi all, we hope you have had a super weekend!!

This week in Year 2 we started our new unit of length and height. Children have enjoyed measuring different object around the classroom. Next week we will be starting a new unit of mass, capacity and temperature. In English we started to explore the book 'Grandad's Camper'. This children have been really enjoying this book and writing for a range of purposes. In Science we have been continuing with animals including humans. We looked at how germs spread and also healthy living. 

Please remember to send your child in with a object that is related to a good memory or send me a picture of this object and I can print this out. If you can, please could you remind on any group chats you may have. Thank you in advance!

Friday is Red Nose Day and we are asking for children to dress in red or as their favourite superhero/hero (not all heroes wear capes). We will also be asking for a small voluntary donation to support this cause.

Thank you for your efforts with costumes on World Book Day, all children looked amazing!

Any questions, please don't hesitate to get in contact or see one of us at the door!

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!

Year 2 - Week 1

Hello everyone, we hope you have had a wonderful weekend. We have had a great week in year 2, and the children have settled back in well to the second half of the Spring Term.

We have continued with our multiplication and division unit in Maths and this will continue into next week. The children really enjoyed reading the owl and the pussycat and have loved writing for different purposes such as a love letter, why the owl and the pussycat can and cannot be friends and also looking at contractions e.g. I've. won't. We will be continuing to focus on this book next week. In Science we started our topic of Animals and Living Things. Children took part in an investigation where we measured and spans and found out who had the biggest hands. We will be continuing this topic next week.

Just a reminder that World Book Day is coming up on Thursday 7th March. If you have any questions about this day please let us know.

See you all tomorrow!

The photos we have taken this week have not been backed up by the ipad so I will do another blog tomorrow with pictures from this week!
