Year 2 Blog Friday 14th January 2022

Date: 14th Jan 2022 @ 1:04pm

Year 2 have had a fantastic week and we continue to work hard to follow all of our golden rules every day. In English, we have continued with Leaf and Non-Fiction writing. The children wrote a brilliant diary in first person (as Leaf) all about how he was feeling. In Maths, we have learnt about statistics – we have learnt about bar charts and interpreting them. In PE this week the children have performed a sequence of travelling and balances. The children enjoyed using low levelled equipment to perform different ways of travelling. In French, the children have learnt how to say types of pets.

Reading

In Year 2, children should read for at least 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an adult or older sibling. This will help with understanding the text and learning new words.

Please sign and leave a small comment when you have read with your child and make it clear that you have finished a book, then we know we can change it.

Reading books are changed every Monday and sent home on Tuesday. However, if you need to change a book another time, we will change it as needed.

Maths

At home, spend some time counting in 3s and 4s. Can you count on from any number and see which number you can reach.

Please have a go at the spelling and maths training if you haven’t already. As you know, we set weekly challenges that are linked to the learning that takes place in school. As an extra feature, the maths and spelling training sections will provide a tailored challenge for your child to practise skills, facts and words that they find difficult. Once your challenges have been completed, use this feature for challenge in both spelling and maths.

Spend some time training so the program can learn the skills your child needs to work on and practise.

 Please could your child bring in a pair of wellies for next week – we are taking part in some exciting planting out on the field.

Thank you for all your support. Have a lovely weekend.
