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.

In maths, the children finished the topic on statistics.

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

Throughout this week and next week, the children are completing a range of reading and mathematics practice papers, including this Year 2 SATs papers. To support the children, our lessons will focus on developing effective strategies for approaching and answering different question types, helping them build confidence and apply their learning independently.

These practice papers are being used solely to inform my end-of-year teacher assessments and will not be published. As the assessments are optional and not part of the statutory SATs process, they are being used as a tool to help identify strengths and any areas that may benefit from further teaching before the end of the academic year.

The children will be introduced to the papers as learning activities that will help inform future lesson planning and ensure that teaching continues to meet their needs throughout the remainder of the year.

The spellings for next Friday are:

Group 1 – with, they, see, sea

Group 2 – there, their, they’re, here, hear, to, too, two

Please see below an insight of our topics for next term.

Maths – position, direction, and consolidating all the topics throughout the year.

English – fictional worlds and fantasy.

Science - living things and their habitats.

Geography - what is it like to live near a coast?

D&T – moving vehicles

ICT - programming.

PSHE - changing me

RE - who made the world and creation stories

Wishing everyone a great weekend.

From the Year 2 team.
