Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 7.2.25
Y2 Friday 7th February 2025– Looking Back & Forth
Looking back: This week we have been learning about the features of recounts and discussing the writer’s hints we will need to use when we write our own recounts. In our maths sessions, we have been learning to recognise odd and even numbers and how to double and halve numbers. We have also sketched houses from the time of the Great Fire of London.

Family discussion questions:
- Ask your child to explain how the baker, Lord Mayor, Samuel Pepys and King Charles II behaved during The Great Fire of London. Discuss what they think about their actions.

Next week we will begin planning and writing our own recounts and create collages based on the events during the Great Fire of London.
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 8 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!
Thank you for your continued support,
Mr Warhurst
