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.

WE HAVE NOTICED THAT SOME CHILDREN HAVE NOT CHANGED THEIR BOOKS RECENTLY.

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 Friday (02.10.26):

English

We have started learning through the story of The Owl Who Was Afraid Of The Dark. The owl is called Plop. We wrote sentences to describe him, using adjectives and connectives.

In pairs, we discussed why he might be afraid of the dark and wrote some possible reasons for this. 

The whole of Reception class visited us on Friday. We read our writing to them. They listened so well and learnt a few facts about Plop.

Phonics

We have been revising all the long u sounds, u-e as in flute, ew as in flew, ue as in blue, ui as in fruit.

Maths

The children learned how to add a 1 digit number to a 2 digit number, 26+4 and we looked at subtraction in the same way.

We have been counting in 10's and learning the 10x table.

PE

We have continued to develop our throwing and catching skills using different objects.

   RE

We learnt about looking after our world.

Forest School

We discussed Autumn Equinox which was this week. We talked about how this marks the start of Autumn and how day and night get equal time for a brief moment.

We looked at the globe to find the equator.
