It has been great to see smiling faces return to school over the last couple of weeks. We have been working very hard since our return and we have produced some wonderful pieces of work. This week we have been carrying on our story Journey.  This book generates lots of discussion and children have enjoyed every page. We have even managed to write our own story based on the events of the book. In Maths we have continued to consolidate previous learning, whilst also discovering new strategies for addition and subtraction. In RE we have been continuing our topic of Lent/Easter and we have looked at how Lent is such a special time for Christians. In PE we have been focusing on fundamental skills in our new topic - playground games from the 20^th century. What a week! It’s great to have everyone back!

Happy Red Nose Day! We have had lots of fun in Year 2 today and more importantly, your money has helped to support people living incredibly tough lives. Thank you.

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 so please remember to bring in your book bag.

Have a go at counting all the way to 100 in 2s. See how far you get!

Have a go at your 3 times table – Can you time how quickly you can say them up to 12 x 3?
