Y2 Friday 22nd December 2023
Looking back: This week have performed our amazing Nativity to an audience and received glowing reviews! In history, we continued learning about houses throughout time and have been securing our subtraction strategies in maths.
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- I enjoyed performing the Nativity because although I felt nervous it was fun.
- I liked maths because it was fun subtracting.
- In DT I enjoyed making my Christmas card.
- I liked doing the Nativity for parents because I’ve seen great photos of myself.
- I liked PE because we did Christmas games.
- I liked handwriting because it is fun and its helping my spelling and helping me do neat writing.
- I liked handwriting because its tricky but fun.
Family discussion questions:
- For history, discuss what you already know about The Great Fire of London.
- For science, discuss how different materials can be squashed, stretched, twisted and bent.
Looking forward: Next term we will begin exploring a new text- The Night Gardener, learning about the Great Fire of London and in maths we will develop our understanding of shape and multiplication and division.
Reminders- PE will now be on FRIDAY!! Please come to school in kit
Reading books are changed on Mondays. The reading folder is needed in school every day. Thank you.
Reading books should be brought into school every day. Children’s books will be changed weekly.
Please continue to read every night as this underpins so much learning in Year 2. For every consecutive 14 days of reading the children will receive 10 house points and see their face on the ‘Reading Challenge Wall of Fame’. Well done to all who have completed the challenge several times this term!
