Friday 24th September Year 2 Home Practice

Date: 24th Sep 2021 @ 4:11pm

We have had a brilliant start to Year 2. Well done everybody for trying so hard to follow the Golden rules and class routines. In English, our novels so far have been ‘The Day the Crayons Quit’ and ‘The Day the Crayons came Home’. We have written some super postcards and have planned a story for Esteban the Magnificent. In Maths, we have focused on place value, number skills and arithmetic. The children have thoroughly enjoyed going outside for Forest School lessons. They have made some lovely natural print patterns, cross sticks with wool, a bug habitat and wood art. We have attached some photos of the great learning we have done so far in Year 2. Keep up the good work everybody.

Reading

In Year 2 we aim to read for a minimum of 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an older sibling or adult to help deepen your knowledge.

Reading books are changed every Monday.

Reading resources:

Spelling

This week we have been learning how to spell words with the ‘ee’ sound.

Spellings for Miss Bennison's and Mrs Whitworth Group will start next week.

Maths

We have been looking at place value. Please have a go at the challenges set on Sumdog.

At home count to 100 forwards and backwards. Some of you might try counting in 2s, 5s and 10s forwards and backwards.

Sumdog can be played from home, as well as in the classroom. To log in from home, students use the same details as they do in class. We will add them into reading diaries next week.
