Good afternoon everyone,

We have had another busy and productive week in class, and the children have worked incredibly hard—well done to all!

Looking ahead to next week:

English – We will be planning and writing our own narratives inspired by The Dragon Machine, focusing on using verbs, suffixes and adverbs effectively.

Maths – We will continue our work on fractions, with a focus on recognising three-quarters and whole numbers. We will also begin a new topic on time, learning o’clock and half past.

Science – Our focus will be on the life cycles of plants. We will take part in an observational walk around the school grounds and continue monitoring the growth of our sunflowers.

RE – We will be exploring a range of faith stories.

History – We will learn about how Florence Nightingale improved conditions at the Scutari hospital.

Spellings for next Friday:

Group 1 – there, their, of, off
Group 2 – station, fiction, motion, national, section, addition, subtraction, potion, option, introduction

Wishing you all a fun and relaxing long weekend.

Best wishes,
The Year 2 Team
