Year 2 Looking Back and Forth Friday 11th June
Friday 11th June 2021 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 2
Looking back:
We have had a brilliant first week back in Year 2. The behaviour of the class has been fantastic and they have settled back into learning well. In English we began looking at the book, Rosie Revere, Engineer and have learned lots of new vocabulary so far. Maths has seen us practise all calculations and use this knowledge to solve problems. We have begun new topics in history, R.E. and science. The lovely weather has made it easy to be outside for P.E. with Mrs Saxton and our dance activities with Laura Wilson School of Dance have been amazing.
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- Rosie Revere, Engineer is a great book
- Problem solving maths
- Reading questions
- Learning the dance
- RE
- Showing how good we are getting with spellings
Family discussion questions:
- Do you know when the first castle was built?
- What sort of foods should we eat?
Looking forward:
- Reading books are changed on Mondays (Tuesday) – but please ensure your child has their pack with them every day
- School photo on Monday – wear full school uniform
- Rosie Revere, Engineer
- Maths investigations
- Reading questions and inference skills
- Dance on Monday
Homework in Year 2
Please read with your child every day. Many children are decoding their reading books well but find answering the comprehension questions much harder. We are working on this at school but it will really help if you can also ask questions during home question time. Please see our class page for further ideas (files section).
Maths:
arithmetic sheet - due back on Friday.
Please help your child to learn their 2, 5 and 10 times tables. We will have a quiz every week. When your child knows the first sheet I will send home a sheet with mixed up times tables. You can use the Percy Parker You Tube videos or chant them. The best way to learn them is to practise for short periods every day, rather than once a week. Please keep the sheet at home so you can practise. Times Table Rockstars passwords were sent home today.
English:
Complete the reading questions for next Friday.
Spellings:
Learn words with “s” making /zh/ for the quiz on Friday
