This week we welcomed Mrs Cornforth. She is going to work with us in the afternoons.

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.

Spelling: Please practise these spellings for your quiz on Friday (13.11.26):

cue         queue        new       new        blue      blew      ewe     you   due        dew    

We have been learning about homophones.

The children need to learn the correct spelling and meaning.

Sumdog: Complete the multiplication and spelling challenges.

Counting: At home, count doubles and halves. For example double 1 is 2, double 8 is 16 or half of 50 is 25, half of 18 is 9.

Follow the link below to play 'Hit The Button' and practise doubling and halving.

English

We started learning through our new book, The Bear and the Piano by David Litchfield.

The bear's beautiful music takes him to amazing and wonderful places in his imagination.

We wrote a description about the forest using great adjectives.

We also designed a poster about the concert that the bear puts on in New York.

Maths

We learned about arrays this week. This is repeated addition and will help us with our learning about times tables.

Next week we are starting our dance unit and it is linked to The Great Fire of London.

History

We about the story of the Gunpowder Plot. Our Art was linked to Bonfire Night.

The Nature Area was blanketed with a thick layer of leaves so we had great fun with them. Some of us decorated pine cones and some of us made traps. There was great communication, co-operation and resilience shown.
