Welcome to Year 2!

What have we been learning about?

Wow! What a brilliant first week back we have had in Year 2! We fully immersed ourselves in our topic 'Frozen Kingdom' on Monday and were very luck that the snowy weather allowed us to imagine what it might be like in the Arctic. We have completed lots of exciting, Arctic themed immersion activities, including creating landscape artwork inspired by the Northern Lights. We have also explored the properties of solids, liquids and gases through ice-based experiments. We investigated how to keep ice frozen and also how to melt an ice cube quickly. Also, we began our Geography unit and have already learnt lots of interesting facts about the geography of the Arctic Circle. 

Times Tables Rockstars:

Children have now been given their individual logins for their TTR account, which they they are very excited about! These have now been stuck into most children's reading records for children to access at home. At the moment, their accounts are set to only practice the 10 times tables and the questions can be changed to include only multiplication rather than division (which we have not covered). This can be adjusted as children learn and become more confident in their times tables. If your child does not have their login stuck into their reading record, please ask them to hand it in tomorrow and I will make sure it is stuck in. Let me know if you have any questions!

Morning Snacks:

During the morning, children are welcome to have a snack. We always have fresh fruit/ vegetables available for children but if you would rather send your child in with their own snack from home this is absolutely fine. However, may I please request that this is a healthy morning snack as opposed to crisps, chocolate biscuits etc. Thank you for your support!

Thank you!

On behalf of myself, Miss Douglas and Mrs Dunstone, thank you very much for the kind gifts, cards and vouchers from everyone! We have had a busy, exciting Autumn term in Year 2 and I wish everyone a restful break. I am looking forward to seeing everyone back, ready for another brilliant term of learning.
