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.

MORE CHILDREN HAVE CHANGED THEIR BOOK THIS WEEK.

A FEW MINUTES OF READING EVERY NIGHT REALLY MAKES A DIFFERENCE. THANKS.

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

Spelling: Please practise these spellings for your quiz on Thursday (22.10.26): 

pear      pair         mane      main          plain        plane       tale     tail       stare       stair

Sumdog: Complete the 'Measure' challenge.

Counting: 

At home, count in 5's forwards and backwards.

What do you notice about the numbers you are counting each time?

You may also like to practise the 10x, 5x, 2x and 3x table on Hit The Button. Doubling and halving is also good to practise

English

We wrote our Barn Owl fact sheets this week. We practised writing sentences with different openings to make our writing more interesting for the reader.

We read our fact sheets to the children of Year 3 and 4.

Maths

We have been measuring length, height and mass, using rulers and balance scales.

We have also been learning about the properties of 2D shapes. We used the geo boards to investigate shapes.

RE

Next week, we will continue learning about Baptism. It would be great if you could talk to your child about their own Baptism and maybe send some photographs (not precious ones) into school.

We will use them to further discuss what happens at a Baptism and the importance of being part of the Church family.

History

We made a poster about everything we have learnt about the Great Fire of London.

Forest School

Super imagination and team work was on show when we made our obstacle courses. There were plenty of physical challenges and each team checked their course for safety.

One group had a bit of time in the lodge as it got a bit wet and windy! We did stick wrapping and read some nature stories and non fiction books.

Art

Mrs Robinson taught Art this week. We used pastels to make beautiful Autumn pictures.
