Good afternoon,

The children have been learning their lines and practising the songs for their Christmas performance.

Next week we will be practising daily using the stage. Please could you encourage your children to practise their lines.

In English the children enjoyed the story of’ Dogger’ and they created a detailed wanted poster of their lost toy.

Next week the children will write a recount on their lost toy. They will include a story map, role play the story and include adverbs of time.

In maths, the children completed numerous sums rounding up and down to the nearest multiple of 10.

Next week the children will complete activities identifying parts and whole numbers using a cherry model and learning the inverse.

The below link is the lyrics of the songs of the Christmas performance, please could your children practise the songs.

You will only be able to access the songs from this video link

From the Year 2 team.

Hello, we have had another very busy, fun week in Year 2.

Please see our ‘odd socks’ photos from anti bullying week which we discussed 'One kind word' throughout the week.

 

This week the children have been extremely creative and enjoyed sewing and creating their hand puppets.

 The children had lots of fun role playing the story of Rama and Sita in the Diwali workshop and they enjoyed practising their lines and song for Christmas performance.

 Next week

 In English, the children will create a recount, this will be on the book ‘Dogger’. The children will describe the character’s feelings, create a wanted poster along with creating a recount using adverbs of time and conjunctions to extend their sentence writing.

 In maths, the children will be doubling numbers and finding the nearest multiple of 10 along with selecting objects priced in pounds and to identify to the nearest pound.

 In science, we will research the inventor Charles Macintosh.

We will be practising our phonics daily in preparation for the phonics assessment and at the end of the day the children will be practising their lines and dances for the Christmas performance.

There will be no spellings on the blog this week as we are introducing a new system which we will be using in class over the next 2 weeks.

Have a great weekend

Wow, another busy week has flown by!

 In English, the children wrote an explanation on how to make a bicycle move and what is a bicycle. They drew a detailed picture of a bicycle and included a flow chart.

 Next week, the children will be practising their lines and songs for the Christmas show along with starting to perform with expression. The children received their lines yesterday, please if possible can they practise them over the weekend (the narrators will have their lines on the day, so they do not need to learn them off by heart).

In maths, the children completed sums rounding up or down to the nearest 10.

Next week, the children will recap number bonds, recognise numbers to 100 and using multiples of 10 they will complete sums using addition or subtraction.

Throughout the week, the children will start to sew and create their hand puppet.

It is anti-bullying week next week, on Monday the children can come to school wearing odd socks, this is a great way to celebrate what makes us all unique. The theme for this year is ‘One Kind Word’.

On Tuesday we have a Diwali workshop, which I know the children will thoroughly enjoy taking part in.

On Friday the children can wear non uniform for Children in Need, please could the children bring in a minimum of £1 donation.

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – my, her, what, out.

Group 2 – wing, sting, thing, mother, climb, crumb.

Group 3 – mostly, motion, mirror.

We are creating a Christmas grotto, if you have any unwanted Christmas decorations. please could your child bring them into school.

Have a lovely weekend,

 Hello to all!

 This week in English the children learnt how to write an explanation text. We looked at a variety of texts and discussed the layout and present tense. The children created their own explanation text on how to work a pencil sharpener.

Next week, the children will write an explanation text showing the stages and process of riding a bicycle along with a labelled diagram and flow chart on how bicycles move.

 In maths the children carried out various activities to develop a good understanding on place value and ordering numbers using coins, bead strings, 100 square and base 10.

 Next week, the children will add and subtract 10, 11, 12, 20, 22 and 30 to any 2-digit number. Along with solving addition and subtraction problems using pictorial representations.

 Next week

Geography - the children will learn the counties and capital cities of the United Kingdom.

 Science – the children will be testing materials to use for a coat.

 RE – continue learning about Diwali.

 D&T – start to create a hand puppet.

 

Home learning

 Following on the topic of puppets. I would like the children to create a moving puppet of their choice. The children are very excited to create their hand puppets in school and had some very imaginative ideas. I look forward to seeing their moving puppet and for the children to discuss their character and materials they have used to the class.

Date for the puppets to be in by please is the 10^th December 2021.

 

 With the cold weather potentially coming soon, could you please make sure that any extra clothing that comes in (gloves, scarfs, hats, etc.) is clearly labelled. There has been a lot of lost property this half term which unfortunately has not been labelled and is frequently put on a chair outside when it is pick up time.

 

A reminder it is sharing assembly for the parents/guardians of Ella, Danika, Sonny, Joseph, Harley and Lydia this Monday morning.

 

Spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – can, are, up, had

Group 2 – level, little, bottle, liquid, dial, detail.

Group 3 – impossible, dental, pencil.

 

Have a lovely weekend and I look forward to seeing you at the fireworks display tomorrow.
