Good afternoon Year 2,

In English this week, the children enjoyed learning prefixes and suffixes and they practised a sats paper.

Next week the children will sit their sats paper, (the children will think it is another practise, so they are unaware and will not worry).

In maths the children learnt and completed activities of the properties of 3D shapes and we revisited fractions and symmetry.

Next week we will create lessons on questions children were unsure of on a practise paper.

Pre-Learning: recall multiplication of 2, 5 and 10 times tables.

In science the children explained and drew the life cycle of plants along with understanding plants are living things.

Next week the children will find out and describe how plants need water, light and a suitable temperature to grow and stay healthy by comparing the growth of seeds under different conditions.

In RE the children learnt about charities  ‘Christian aid’.

Next week the children will have a discussion on why we need rules and explore why do we need rules in school.

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1: girl, drew, Mr, Mrs

Group 2: don’t do not, shouldn’t should not, can’t cannot, I’ll I will, didn’t did not, isn’t is not,
