Y2 Friday 8th December 2023– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back: This week we have been working hard on our Nativity performance and learning our lines and songs. In science, we have explored uses of materials around the school and in history we have compared different types of Tudor houses.
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:

- I liked looking for different materials around school

- I liked talking about different Tudor houses
- I liked trying on my nativity costume
- I liked phonics- adding ed to y words
- I liked handwriting because we did u and l
- I liked spelling because it was hard and difficult
- I liked doing the Nativity without scripts x2
- I liked editing and improving my work
- I liked working with my partner because he was supportive
- I liked that my partner helped me a lot
- Family discussion questions:
- For science, please discuss how the shape of objects can be can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching. Can you find objects in the house you can bend or squash or stretch?
