Year 2 Home Practice - 20th November 2020

Date: 20th Nov 2020 @ 4:00pm

The children have really enjoyed wearing odd socks and talking about their friendships this week. We have continued to look at different stories from The Paddington Treasury and we have produced some wonderful pieces of work. In Maths we have continued to focus on strategies for solving addition and subtraction questions. We have designed some Baptism candles in RE along with researching The Great Fire of London in History. We have had a brilliant PE lesson this week, learning how to strike a ball. A fantastic week Year 2!

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.
