Home Practice

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.

Spelling: No spellings this week.

Sumdog: No challenge this week but you could work on the normal Sumdog games.

Counting: Count in halves like we did in class.

For example, zero, a half, one, one and a half, two, two and a half, three, three and a half etc.  

You could also work on your 2, 5, 10 and 3 times tables/doubling and halving.

English

The children planned and wrote some excellent Christmas stories.

Maths

We continued to work on fractions this week.

RE

We spent time reflecting on our learning this half term.

The children answered questions and shared their new knowledge.

PE

We put together our final 'Fire Fire' dance which retold the events of The Great Fire of London through movement and dance.

The children had a lot of fun and performed really well.

Art

We used carrots to print a repeating pattern. We then used this print to make our Christmas cards.

D.T

D.T Day was a great success. The children worked so well to make their Tudor Houses.

Great attention to detail was shown and a lot of D.T skills were used, like cutting, glueing, folding and measuring.

Have a lovely weekend,
