Welcome to Year 2!

What have we been learning about?

Wow! What an exciting first week back we have had after the Easter holidays! We have immersed ourselves fully in our new topic, 'Our Community' and began our week with a brilliant workshop all about the life and legacy of Florence Nightingale. We then compared Florence to Mary Seacole and even made our herbal remedies, just as Mary herself would have done! Everybody has had a brilliant first week and I am looking forward to a busy, fun summer term! Keep an eye our for lots of photos showing our workshop and remedy making.

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!
