Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 21.3.25

Y2 Friday 21st March 2025– Looking Back & Forth

Looking back:  This week we have written our own ‘return narratives’, measured volume and compared the mass of objects. In science, we explored microhabitats in the school environment.

Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:

• I enjoyed making bug hotels with my friends at playtime. x 11 chn
• I enjoyed making poster on 2 Publish.
• I liked maths when we measured volume in buckets.
• I enjoyed comparing mass.

Family discussion questions:

Next week in maths, we will be learning to read scales to measure the mass of objects and temperature- have you got scales at home or a thermometer?  Can you read the mass and temperature with your child? What does each line on the scale represent? 

Looking forward:

Next week we will look at the features of information texts about life cycles and develop our understanding of reading scales.

PE is on FRIDAYS! Please ensure school PE kit is worn.

Reading books are changed on Mondays. The reading folder is needed in school every day. Thank you.

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 the 6 children that completed the challenge again this week. Please record when you read with your child in their reading diaries so we can track their progress and see who has completed the challenge this term!

Have a great week,

Mr Warhurst
