Hello to all, the children have been working very hard again this week. They enjoyed their art lesson and produced a very good detailed observational drawing, well done to all.

In English, we read The Gingerbread Man and discussed the punctuation used and sequenced the story. We collectively looked at apostrophes, exclamation marks, question marks, connectives and adjectives.

In maths, the children enjoyed solving problems using tens frame, cards, cherry model and learning the inequality signs.

Next week

English – The children will plan and create their own traditional tale, including adjectives, exclamation marks and a repeated sentence.

Maths – Continue to recall and use addition and subtraction facts to 20 fluently, using a variety of resources.

Science – The children will draw and label the parts of a plant.

History – The children will write sentences comparing schools in Victorian times.

ICT – To complete mathseeds and mathletics activities.

PSHE – To be a good listener and care about other people’s feelings.

RE – To research why light, water and trees are important Jewish religious symbols.

Art – To continue with observational drawings using a variety of shading pencils and a magnify glass to help include more detail.

Spellings for next week are:

Group 1 – they, on, she, is.

Group 2 – bridge, sledge, huge, nudge, strange, change

Group 3 – phrase, apostrophe, fluffy.

(Children can challenge themselves to learn all spellings or group 2 and 1 or group 1).

I hope the weather cheers up - have a good weekend.

From the Year 2 team
