Hello everyone!

The children had a fun and busy week, they particularly enjoyed the visit from Potters Bar Fire Station, please see photos below.








In English, the children worked hard creating subordinating conjunctions to predict a story along with learning noun phrases and creating a letter with contraction words.

Next week, the children will learn possessive pronouns to include in a diary entry and use words with the prefix un- to write a set of commands.

In maths, the children will finish their topic on measuring, capacity and temperature and complete various activities to consolidate their learning.

 Throughout the week, the children will complete maths questions independently for the Spring progress assessment check.

During the week, we will be finishing our geography, computing, science topics. The children will explore local habitats, record their observations, and present their findings in a bar chart.

Reminder

On Wednesday, from 3-4.30pm, it is open afternoon for parents.

On Friday, we finish at 1.15pm.

Spellings for Friday are-

Group 1 – at, the, of, can, are

Group 2 – wrap, write, wrong, ring, runcible, wood, what, went.

Have a lovely weekend.

From the Year 2 team.

Happy Friday!

First of all, a huge well done to the children for their fantastic assembly today—I’m sure you’ll all agree they did an amazing job!

In maths, we will be wrapping up our topic on measurement, focusing on capacity and temperature. The children will engage in activities measuring grams and kilograms, as well as comparing volume and capacity using millilitres.

In English, we will begin our new class book, The Owl and the Pussy-cat by Edward Lear and Charlotte Voake. The children will work on using subordinating conjunctions to make predictions, create noun phrases for a list, and write a letter incorporating contractions.

For geography, the children will sketch a map of the KS2 playground, identifying both human and physical features. They will also explore local habitats, record their observations, and present their findings in a bar chart.

A reminder that on Monday morning, it is sharing assembly for a few children also later on in the morning we will be watching the KS2 performance.

Spellings for Friday are –

Group 1: of, gold, old, some, with

Happy Friday everyone!

The children have worked incredibly hard this week—well done to all!

On Monday, we had an exciting planet workshop where the children explored fascinating facts about space. They learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed the experience!

In English, the children rewrote their own version of The Minpins, creating new main characters, settings, and monsters. They also included descriptive sentences using conjunctions and exclamation marks.

Next week, our English lessons will focus on rehearsing for your class assembly, which takes place on Friday.

In maths, the children had fun measuring various objects around the classroom and hall using rulers and metre sticks. Next week, they will be learning to measure using grams and kilograms.
