What a great week of learning in Year 2 this week. The children were brilliant in the Queens Jubilee Celebration – the video is on St Oswald’s Tv (YouTube).

English

In English this week the children have been celebrating the Queen. They have wrote a letter to the Queen congratulating her on her 70 years on the throne, designed and described a cake fit for the Queen and a poem about the Queen.

Maths

We have consolidated some of our previous learning in Maths this week including Money, Shape and Time. We have started our new unit Fractions and the children have been finding quarters of shapes and numbers.

French

This week, we practised our French phonic sounds then we learnt the words for the compass points and vocabulary associated with travel to France and other Francophone countries around the world. Je vais en train, en bateau, en avion, en voiture, en velo, a pied. We made these words into a song to help us remember them.

RE

This week in RE the children have started a new topic all about Rules. We have looked at types of rules in our everyday life.

PE

We have had a brilliant day celebrating Year 2 Sports Day today. All the children were great and it was lovely to have all their parents here today. Thank you for coming to support.

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.

Reading books are changed every Monday and sent home on Tuesday. Please remind your child to put their book bag in the box on Monday morning. However, if you need to change a book another time, we will change it as needed.

Spelling

There will be a no spelling quiz next week due to half term.

Maths

At home, count in 5s from a number other than O. These become trickier when you get higher up and then try going backwards for an extra challenge. Try interactive games for your times tables on: https://www.topmarks.co.uk/Search.aspx?q=times%20tables

Online Safety Update

This week, our update is focused on keeping children safe when accessing online content. A lot of platforms that our children use are dependent on uploaded content. Due to the sheer number of videos added to these sites, moderators find it almost impossible to stop all harmful or distressing content from reaching your phone or tablet screens. The guide below outlines ways in which you as parents and carers can limit the risk.

Have a lovely half term.

Year 2 Team.
