Year 2

The adults in our class are:

Ms Davies and Mrs Trillow

Week ending 16.10.26

English:

This week, we have been focusing on using our spelling words to write sentences that make sense, remembering to use the correct punctuation as well!

SpAG

During our phonics, spelling and grammar (SpAG) sessions, we have been learning about the suffixes 'er' and 'est', and how we can add these to words to form new words like: swim/swimmer, kind/kindest.

Maths

This week, we have begun our unit on addition and subtraction, and we have been learning how to use related number facts.  For example the number bonds to 10, can help us to solve problems involving amounts up to 100. For example 1 + 9 = 10, and 10 + 90 = 100.

Science

This week, we have been focusing on the material: wood.  We have had a closer look at wooden items, and we have thought about why some items are made from a combination of materials, and why wood is good for some things, but perhaps not so good for others.

PE

This week we have been practising the skills of rolling a ball and stopping it.  We have rolled the ball in different ways: to a partner, between cones, and into a hoop.  We have also practised throwing and catching a ball.

Music

This week we have continued to practice playing the notes B, A, and G on our recorders by playing the tunes Hot Cross Buns, and Sailor, Sailor On the Sea.

We have also continued to learn to sing the song: When I was one, I sucked my thumb, along with performing the actions that we made up.

RE

In RE this week, we have been thinking about the characteristics of God, and what Christians do to reflect these.  We have thought about ways we can learn more about God to help us to follow the good that God does.

PHSE

In our PHSE this week, we have been looking at ways to keep ourselves healthy and safe.

 

It's been lovely to see how some of the children have taken on the challenge of using recycled materials to create something new to bring in for 'show and tell'.  We've seen some very impressive pencil pots, robots, juice carton characters, rockets, and even something to help pour those fiddly jewellery beads into containers!  Thank you for supporting the children with this challenge.  Please do keep them coming in.

Have a lovely weekend.
