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 (14.11.25):

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 Bear using great adjectives and we tried to describe what Bear looks like physically but also describe his character/personality.

Maths

We learned about 3D shapes this week. The children can name and talk about their properties.

PE

We are doing dance this half term and it is linked to The Great Fire of London.

The children were moving very energetically, just like flames of fire.

Geography

The children looked at the map of the world and thought about our location in the world.

They learnt that we live in the Northern Hemisphere, Europe, England, Preston and our own village or area.

History

We learnt more about the story of the Gunpowder Plot and wrote our own version of the poem 'Remember, remember the fifth of November.'

RE

We read Isaiah (9:1-2) and thought about light and darkness in relation to Jesus and his different titles.

The children responded creatively decorationg their own lightbulbs with the different names of Jesus.
