Year 2 Home Practice - 16th October 2020

Date: 16th Oct 2020 @ 3:52pm

With only 1 week of half-term left, Year 2 have been working harder than ever. Our leaflets from last week managed to make their way to the top shelf in Booths. We have uploaded the photos to our class gallery. Great work by everyone! The children have really enjoyed our class novel this week and they have produced some wonderful pieces of writing. This week we have also taken part in an Intra Sports Competition. The children had to use their dribbling skills and race against the clock on an obstacle course. A great effort by everyone! In French we have been performing and practicing Autumn poems along with learning seasonal colours.

Reading

In Year 2 we aim to read for a minimum of 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an older sibling or adult to help deepen your knowledge.

Reading books are changed every Monday.
