Reading:

In Year 2, children should read for at least 15/20 minutes every night and talk about the book.

This will help with understanding the text and learning new words.

Remember you will get a sticker on your book mark for every book you read!

Counting:

Spend time counting in 3's forwards and backwards to 60 or even 100. Look at how that links to the 3x table.

Maths

We learnt more about capacity and volume this week.

The children estimated how much liquid a container held and measured accurately using litres and millilitres.

They also solved tricky word problems related to capacity and volume.

RE

Our Bible story was The Good Samaritan.

We looked in more detail at who the characters were and how they interacted at the time. 

PE

In PE, we had an orienteering competition.

The children displayed great map skills and team work and had a lot of fun.

Year 6 Performance

We spent Wednesday afternoon watching the Year 6 dress rehearsal.

It was very exciting and entertaining.

Art/Forest School

The children were very creative, using materials from nature to create their own art work.

Science

We made our boats and tested them to see if they floated and if they were waterproof. We came to some conclusions.
