This week in English we have been continuing with our letter writing skills. The children are writing to Queen Elizabeth I to let her know what they have discovered and to ask her any further questions they have. The focus points are to use each of the 4 main sentence types (command, question, statement and exclamation) as and to concentrate on forming all letters correctly.
Phonics this week is concentrating on spelling common exception words (also known as tricky words) correctly. You may have noticed the list in homework books last week - this is a set list under the current curriculum that all year two children must be able to read and spell accurately every time by the end of there time in year two. Most of our children can read these words well and any extra practise they can do with their spelling at home will always help them.
In maths we have been solving worded problems for addition, subtraction, division and multiplication. The children have been able to choose their own way of solving the problem as long as they can show how they got to the answer. It has been lovely to see how surprised they are when they realise that they CAN do it!
We would like to ask that if you go away in the UK during the holidays to please send in any photographs or a postcard so that we can update our UK maps in class - many thanks.
