10th December 2018

Well done to the 12 children who took part in the Gymnastics Festival and represented Garrick Green. They had a fantastic time and got to try out lots of different equipment!

 




 

This week in English we have been learning about Christmas around the world. We have been looking at how different countries celebrate and making comparisons to our traditions in the UK. 

In maths we have been learning about multiplication. The basic idea of multiplication is repeated addition. Example: 5 × 3 = 5 + 5 + 5 = 15. We will be continuing with this in the new term. As part of your home learning it would be great if you can continue to count in 2s, 3s, 5s and 10s as this help children to answer multiplication problems. 

We also ask that for your Christmas home learning that all children read every day or at least 5 times a week. Thank you for your support with this. 

Finally, thank you for your continued support this term. We are really proud of how hard the children have worked. They have settled in to year 2 really well and we are really excited about the Spring term.

We wish you all a very merry Christmas and look froward to seeing you in the new year. 

It is Christmas jumper day Friday 14th December.We are asking for a £1 donation which will all go to Save the Children. 

The last day of term is Tuesday 18th December and we return to school on Thursday 3rd January. Don't forget we have a drop-in session on Tuesday 18th where you are welcome to come into the classroom any time from 915 am until 1130 am. You can look at how hard the children have worked this term and join us for some Christmas crafts! 

We have our second year 2 reading event on Wednesday 9th January at 2pm.
