This week the children have enjoyed lots of sensory learning within their spelling lessons. They have practised writing words in glitter and in shaving foam.

We have been looking at our new topic Crowns and Corgie’s!

The children have learnt so far all about the Royal Family tree as well as this they have made a welcome card for the new Royal baby.

Please encourage your children to practise their 2’s, 5’s and 10 times tables.

Have a lovely weekend.

The children have enjoyed writing their facts for their sun safety unit in English and giving reasons why we must keep ourselves safe.

We have also worked hard in maths with problem solving involving addition and subtraction.

In RE we had our lesson outside  thinking about how we are followers of Jesus and what we do in our lives to show this to others.

Just a reminder- please could we have reply slips for our trip which is happening on Thursday 28th June 2018. Parent helpers are desperately needed for our trip to go ahead so we would be very grateful to anyone who can offer their help. Thank you!

Please encourage your children to log into Sum dog as there is a maths challenge for them to take part in.

Have a lovely weekend.

The children have had another lovely week working hard. They have been working in partners to solve problems in maths, creating Paschal candles in RE and enjoying practising lots of new strategies to learning new spellings.

Just a reminder on Monday 11th June 2018 2A have their music concert at 11.15am.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend.

From the year 2 team.

In English we have introduced our new topic ‘How to keep safe in the sun.’ The children have already found out lots of information about the importance of looking after ourselves in the sun and why. They are looking forward to writing letters to the headteachers around the local areas to inform them on how to keep their children safe.

In maths we have been using positional language. They have enjoyed acting as robots using mathematical language to direct their friends around the room.

Language includes:

clockwise, anti- clockwise, quarter- turn, half- turn, three- quarter turn and full turn.

Please encourage your children to practise using this language at home.

In RE the children have retold the Easter story. Here are some photos of them acting out what the disciples would have said when they saw the empty tomb:

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter break. The children have come back with an excellent working attitude. They have been busy writing lots of facts about Kenya ready to publish their own information sheet next week in English.

In maths the children have been focusing on using multiplication and division facts to solve problems which they have really enjoyed this week.

Please encourage your children to continue practising their 2’s, 3’s, 5’s and 10’s times table to help with their mental fluency.

2A have just started singing lessons during music time on a Monday morning. They shall look forward to performing another concert to you later this term.

Hope you all have a pleasant weekend.

Huge congratulations to the children in year 2 who took part in the tag rugby competition against other schools in the local area. Our children came second place so well done to them.

This week in English the children have enjoyed writing wonderful stories in the style of Flat Stanley. It has been a pleasure to read and share them with one another.

Have a lovely Easter break.

This week in year 2 we have been practising our multiplication skills. We have used repeated addition, multiplication, word problems and drawn arrays to show our workings out.

The children have also been busy planning their ideas ready to write their own stories in the style of Flat Stanley. We are excited to read these when they are completed.

Just a reminder 2OK have their music concert on Monday 26th March at 11.15am in their classroom. We would love to welcome as many of you there as possible to see what the children have been learning in music this half term.

Monday 26th March at 5pm is also when we will be having the SATs information meeting in 2OK. Again we would like to see as many of you there as possible to find out all there is to know about the Year 2 SATs as well as having any questions you have about them answered.

Well done to all the children in year 2 for their liturgy that they shared together. Thank you to all the parents and families for your support, we really appreciate it.

In maths next week we are looking at multiplication and division so please could the children continue to practice their times tables 2’s, 5’s, 10’s and 3’s.

Have a lovely weekend

Here are some ideas for teaching spelling to your children.

Next week in maths we will be learning about measuring. It will be great if the children could measure using a ruler at home as well as weighing scales and measuring jugs.

Have a lovely weekend.

What a lovely World Book Day we have had with the children dressing up and reading some of their favorite books throughout the day.

They have all enjoyed being hooked into our new class book which is Flat Stanley. We had a visit from Mrs Lampchop to tell us all about what had happened to Stanley! The children were keen to ask lots of questions and find out how we can help him to be better.

We are all excited to get lots of good writing in English from this class text.

Have a lovely weekend
