Y2 Looking Back and Forth 21st April
Friday 21st April 2023 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 2
Looking back:
We have had a great first week back, although we were all very tired by the end of Monday! In English, we have explored a funny rhyming poem and written another. In Maths, we have revised our Year 2 knowledge and covered any misconceptions. We have used phoneme knowledge for spelling in phonics. We have started new topics for Science and History too. PE has moved to Tuesdays and the children are learning cricket skills. It has been a busy week with lots more happening. Thank you for your support and have a great weekend.
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- Science
- Cricket
- Freaky Week poem
- Seeing our friends again
