Week ending 30.9.2016

This week the children have been learning about using adjectives to describe people, animals, things and places. They will be using these adjectives in English to write a story about having an animal delivered to their house.

In Maths, the children have been learning strategies to help them recognise odd and even numbers and learning more about place value.
Topic this term is entitled 'Shiver Me Timbers' and has a pirate theme. As well as learning about pirates the children will be learning about maps, healthy living and the historical figure Sir Francis Drake.

To start PE this term we have been learning how to putt and chip with mini-golf, which has been a lot of fun.

Week ending 23.9.2016

Welcome to Year 2. The children have now settled in and we're well underway with our lessons. In English, the children have been enjoying the story 'There's a Lion in my Cornflakes by Michelle Robinson and thinking of interesting questions that they would like to ask about it. We have also been looking at Statements and how these differ from other sentences. 

In Maths, the children have been busy thinking of how to order numbers and recognise their place value. They also had the opportunity to have a go at a measuring activity to see if we can fit any more books on our bookcase.

Could we take this opportunity to remind you that we recommend that your child reads with you at least three times per week. Many thanks.
