Throughout the afternoon, the children have been exploring clay techniques, focusing on pinching and joining by scoring lines and applying slip. They have designed and created a house-themed tile.

Good afternoon to all,

I hope you all had a lovely half term; the children have settled back quickly into the daily routine and have worked extremely hard this week.

In English, the children are enjoying our new book ‘Toys in Space’ by Mini Grey. They have created a found poster using expanded noun phrases and used commas in lists to write an invitation.

In maths, the children learnt to tell the time o’clock, half past, quarter past, quarter to and to 5 minutes.

In geography, the children located the countries, cities and oceans around the United Kingdom.

In science, the children explored the difference between things that are living and not living.

Next week, throughout the week, the children will be completing practice SATS papers on reading and maths. To support this, our lessons will focus to how to approach and effectively answer the types of questions they may encounter. The children will sit the SATS papers the following week, these are only to support my end of year assessments and will not be published as they are optional and not mandatory. The children will be unaware they are tests as I will explain they are to support my planning of lessons until the end of the year.

During the afternoon, the children will be creating clay shapes using pinching techniques and modelling tools.

The spellings will be revisiting the Year 2 high frequency common words, which the children will practice daily in the mornings.

Have a great weekend.

From the Year 2 team.
