Year 2 6th December Looking Back and Forth
Friday 6th December 2019 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 2
Looking back:
It has been a very busy week! Our nativity production of “A Midwife Crisis” is coming together ready for next week’s performances. The children are working very hard at remembering their lines and acting out their roles. Please support them at home with this.
We have also begun learning about division in maths, understanding that our answer will be smaller than our starting number and linking division to multiplication facts.
We continue to be busy with art, science, history and geography too. In PE the children are continuing with ball skills and dance. I am looking forward to watching their finished performances of “Penguin Adventure”
I’m very proud of Year 2. They all have a great attitude to their learning and never give up. We say…”mistakes are part of learning. If I can’t do it yet… I will be able to soon”.
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- Golden Time
- PE
- Reading because we get to choose our favourite book

We ask that no pre-schoolers/younger siblings attend the performances but they are welcome to come to the dress rehearsal on Tuesday 11th at 930 so please let Mrs Flint or myself know.
Homework in Year 2
Please listen to your child read for 15 minutes each day and talk about what they have read. Can they tell you what happened? Do they understand the meaning of new words? What was their favourite part? Please use the bookmarks we sent home to help you.
