Happy Friday everyone! 

This week has flown by and the children have settled back quickly into the daily routine.

In English the children have written an apology letter to Pandora for opening her special box. They included adjectives, conjunctions and question marks in their writing.

In maths, the children have completed numerous activities using tally charts, block charts and pictograms.

In science, the children explored what is dead and alive, looking around the playground and classroom.

In geography, the children looked at the world atlas and we focused on the seas and oceans.

Over the next couple of weeks, the children will complete SATS papers on reading and maths. These are only to support my end of year assessments and will not be published as they are optional and not mandatory.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 till the end of the year.

Wishing you all a fab and sunny weekend

From the Year 2 team.
