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.

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 (13.06.25):

Our next quiz will be on Thursday (12.06.25)

We will quiz your knowledge of the 2 times tables in a muddled order.

English

This week we started our new book, Stella and the Seagull. Year 2 drew and wrote about the main events of the story in order on a flow diagram.

They noted down interesting vocabulary about Stella and the Seagull and used these words in their own sentences and wrote a fantastic diary entry about Stella's day.

We finished our shape work this week.

The children have been completing arithmetic and reasoning end of term quizzes.

R.E.

We learnt about how the Holy Spirit helped different people in the Bible, including Jesus, Mary, the Disciples and Saul (Paul).

P.E

 The children have been playing mini games of rounders. We have got some great throwers, catchers and batters in Year 2.

History

We learnt about the first wooden castles - The Motte and Bailey Castle. Can you remember which part is the motte and which part is the bailey?

Year 2 found out about active listening and the checklist we can use to see that we are really listening carefully.

It is so important for our learning and for good relationships too.

Forest School

We went in our log circle area. We built dens, did some mud cooking, made daisy chains and played games.

Tough Kidda

What a fantastic afternoon, full of fun, excitement, music and energy.

Year 2 were amazing!!

We went into the hall and met people with different jobs. There were police, a surgeon, an estate agent, a film maker , a costume designer and a surveyor.

We tried on some uniforms and asked really good questions.
