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 (16.05.25):

hopping    dancing     looking       clapping      waving

Counting:

Starting at 0, count in fives forwards and backwards to 100.

Times Tables:

We repeated the division facts for 5 (in order) this week in our quiz. 

Next week, Thursday (15.05.25) we will quiz your knowledge of the division facts for 5, in a muddled order.

English

We learnt through the book, "The Ugly Five". It's a rhyming story about animals in Africa.

We used it as inspration to write our own poem about one of the animals featured in the book.

We had a writing workshop where we discussed our ideas and helped each other out with rhyming words.

We then wrote a rough draft of our poem and finally published our poem in our English book.

We read our poems to the children in Year 3.

SPaG

We revisited the rules for adding ing to a word.

Maths

We continued to learn about fractions of amounts using bar models.

We also learned about fractions when describing a turn.

R.E.

Exciting news about our new Pope Leo XIV 

P.E.

We have been preparing for Sports Day (19.05.25).

It's been great fun using the track and improving our athletics skills.

Science

We closely observed the beans which we planted last week and noted down any changes.

Forest School

We have a new lodge. When the children went in for the first time they described it as "AMAZING", "FANTASTIC" and "BRILLIANT".

In our session this week we did some cloud gazing on blankets using our senses to really experience being outside.

Computing

The children are working so well on code.org and have been progressing through the lesson so proficienly.

Art

The children made their stick people, using thread, string and ribbon. They looked fantastic.
