Autumn Term 1 Week 1

Wow! I am so impressed with how all the children have settled into Year Two.

We are establishing a new routine and the children have been working hard and are excited to learn.

Thank you for supporting your child with their home learning over the summer. It has been lovely to see so many children returning to school ready to showcase their research. Please support your child in doing the tasks as this does support their confidence when addressing their peers in class and delivering lines during their sharing assembly.

In Maths we are covering Place Value this term. The children have been focusing on recognising two digit numbers and partitioning numbers to 100. Below are some useful links.

In English we read the book Whatever Next! by Jill Murphy. The children came up with some wonderful descriptive sentences when given the task of using adjectives in their writing.

Again, here in a useful link.

In Science we started our new topics - Materials. The children learnt to identify a variety of everyday materials. In Art we are studying birds of paradise. The children learnt about sketching and sketched some impressive birds.

As per my email last week, spellings will be sent home every Friday, and the children will be tested the following Friday. Please encourage your child to read daily for 15 minutes and as always, record it in their reading record.

Thanks for your support.
