Good afternoon to all,

The children have had a very productive week in English planning their own version of The Three Billy Goats Gruff. They have worked very hard checking they have changed the characters and repeated phrases, including commas, adjectives and exclamation marks.

Next week, in English, the children will write their stories and we will be continuing our topic on recurring language. We will be looking at the story The Enormous Turnip.

In maths, we have been looking at money and the children have solved maths problems using addition and subtraction with coins and pounds.

Next week, we will continue our topic on money and start to look at multiplication and division.

Home learning – to play shops with real/toy money. I have mentioned to the children that they can otherwise make their own money from paper.

 In science, the children described and drew pictures of the stages from a baby to an adult.

Next week, the children will draw a picture of how an animal changes as it grows.

 In D&T, we have discussed healthy eating and next week, the children will draw a detailed fruit kebab.

 In history, the children learnt the events of the Great Fire and next week the children will find out why the fire spread so quickly and stayed alight for so long.

 Spellings for next Friday are-

Group 1 – as, no, mum, one.

Group 2 – let’s, I’m, I’ve, isn’t, can’t, it’s, I’ll, didn’t.

Group 3 – they’re, couldn’t, hasn’t, we’ve.

Have a great weekend

From the Year 2 team
