Friday 20 September 2024

Good afternoon to all,

We have had another action-packed week with lots of fun activities.

The children thoroughly enjoyed our trip to the synagogue which was extremely informative and interesting. The Rabbi answered lots of questions from the children and their behaviour was exceptional, well done Year 2.

















In English, the children enjoyed using their imagination creating their own list poem of ‘Ten things found in a Wizard’s pocket’ which will be displayed in the classroom.

Next week, we will start our topic on Traditional Tales. The children will compare the story of Rapunzel the original and modern version and make inferences.

 In maths, the children worked very hard on using a place value chart for 10s and 1s.

Next week, the children will be solving missing numbers on a number line to 100.

Next week

Science

The children will find out how various objects are made and carryout an experiment to understand that some materials can be changed by squashing, bending, twisting and stretching.

History

We will continue to discuss and compare the history of our school to a Victorian school.

Art

The children will create an observational drawing using their new shading skills.

 Spellings for next Friday are:

 Group 1: of, it, was, you.

Group 2: poor, floor, door, fine, mind, behind.

Group 3: because, after, when, that.

 

Home Learning - to write about your favourite reading book.

Please can your child bring in their reading books daily, we are very lucky to have volunteer readers who will listen to your child read on Mondays and Wednesdays. Your child can change their book once they have finished it and a comment is in the reading record confirming the book has been read.
