Year 2 Home Practice - 2nd October 2020

Date: 2nd Oct 2020 @ 3:43pm

We have had another brilliant week in Year 2. We would like to say a big thank you to everyone has who logged onto Sumdog to have a go at the challenges. This consolidation of learning will really help the children to make excellent progress throughout the year. We are really starting to settle into the routines for school and our effort in class has been superb. The children have loved reading our class novel and this week we have produced some wonderful pieces of writing. We have also taken part in National Poetry Day. We wrote our own poem about Flat Stanley. In Maths we have continued to focus on number and place value. In French we have produced a poem based on the colours of the rainbow. We have created some great paintings in RE and we have continued to take part in the Daily Mile. We love staying healthy and active!

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.
