Reading: In Year 2, children should read for at least 15/20 minutes every night and talk about the book. This will help with understanding the text and learning new words.

Spelling: 

Please practise these spellings for your quiz on Friday (31.01.25):

braver      bravest     ruder   rudest      larger     largest      riper     ripest   cuter   cutest                

Sumdog: Complete the number/place value challenge. 

Counting: Count in tens forwards and backwards.

Start from zero but also from a different one-digit number. For example, 3, 13, 23, 33 etc.

See how far you can get!

English

We continued to learn through the story of  'The Barnabus Project'.

We used the text to find out more about Barnabus' character and why he is a failed project.

We wrote a description of the lab where Barbabus is trapped.

We also created our own word bank which helps us to spell our words correctly and reminds us what we are writing about.

We are all trying so hard to make our writing look beautiful on the page.

We have been learning the rules for adding er and est to words ending in e,

Maths

This week we have been completing asessments.

We started our new leaning about place value and counting on and back in 10s.

We have also been investigating and discussing the patterns in the 2,5 and 10 times tables.

We discussed last week's investigation about the properties of materials.

As a class we drew conclusions and recognised why materials had different uses according to their properties.
