Happy Friday!

The children have worked extremely hard writing sentences using verbs and suffixes along with describing and creating their monsters using magic clay.

The children solved numerous maths calculations grouping and sharing using multiplication and division with counters and cubes.

We had a fun morning at Little Heath Church, please see photos taken below:











Please find below a brief outline of the topics the children will be covering over the next term.

 English

We will be continuing our topic on The Minpins by Roald Dhal creating information reports and postcards. Our next book will be The Owl and the Pussy-cat by Edward Lear and the children will create letters, lists and instructions.

 Maths

Continuing our topic on multiplication and division then we will at start a new topic on length, height, capacity and temperature.

 Science

 Geography

Life in the city.

 PSHE

 RE

The Lord’s Prayer, The Easter Story, Shabbat and Passover.

 ICT

Data and information - Pictograms

Art:

Pablo Picasso, the children will research the artist and recreate one of the paintings by cutting shapes with coloured card.

Reminder: The Great Fire of London workshop will take place on Tuesday, 25th February. We kindly ask that the children come dressed in period-style clothing. Here are some suggestions:

Boys: A plain t-shirt (with or without a collar), a belt or cord tied around the waist, a plain waistcoat (if available), and a flat cap (if you have one). School trousers should be tucked into their socks.

Girls: A plain white collared shirt, a long plain skirt or dress in black, brown, or dark blue, and a plain waistcoat (if available). An apron or a white pillowcase can be used, and a piece of white fabric tied around the head to cover the hair.

Home Learning – the children can choose a country to research and write some facts on the following: their capital city, language, surrounding countries, someone famous, a famous landmark and any other facts if they wish to. An A4 or A3 size would be perfect, as I would like these to be displayed in the classroom.

Please could their home learning be completed by Monday 31st March.

Wishing everyone one a fun and restful half term.

From the Year 2 team.
