Date for your diary- 2A have their music concert the first week after half term- Monday 19th February 2018 at 11.15am in 2A classroom. All families welcome to come and see what the children have been learning this half term in Music.

Enjoy your weekends

Third class and first class fun!

The children have been excitedly writing about how they would feel if they were a first class passenger and a third class passenger on board the Titanic. We have had some fantastic writing from the children with amazing adjectives and description used to really grip the reader.

In maths we have still been focusing on place value along with telling the time.

Please could the children continue telling the time to half past, quarter past and quarter to the hour.

Have a fabulous weekend.

From the year 2 team.

Samson’s Titanic journey!

The children have had a great week beginning to look at the story Samson’s Titanic journey! They have enjoyed finding out who left the cracker crumbs in our classroom and who nibbled the carrot.

They have been practicing their place value skills in maths by partitioning numbers in different ways and comparing them using the greater than and less than symbols ( < and  >)

Please encourage the children to practice their 3, 2, 5 and 10 ten times tables at home.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

Advent

The children have had a lovely week with it being the first week of Advent. They enjoyed walking to the Church and joining in with our Advent service. They also made their own Advent wreaths to understand the meaning of each candle.

The children have also been working really hard with practising for their Nativity performance next week.

In maths the children are beginning to look at place value of two digit numbers which will then move onto them adding numbers together using a number line.

Year 2 have a dress rehearsal on Friday 8th December. Please could all costumes be in school for then.

Have a wonderful weekend!

Story Writing!

This week the children have been writing some wonderful stories in the style of The Smartest Giant in Town.

We have also begun looking at money where the children have been making different amounts using the coins.

If the children could practise this at home with real money then that would be a great benefit to their learning.
