Times Tables:
Great work on your 5 Times Tables.
Next week, Thursday (03.04.25) we will quiz your knowledge of the 5 times table in a muddled up order.
English
We continued our learning through the story of Rosie Revere Engineer. We discussed cause and effect and answered questions about the story.
We also read about another inventor, Marvelous Mattie. The children wrote at length about her life and inventions.
SPaG
We learnt about silent letters in knight and sword. We also discussed another homophone, by, bye and buy.
Maths
We continued our learning about measuring. We used rulers, metre sticks and a trundle wheel to measure lengths. We discussed when it's appropriate to use the different equipment.
We have been practicing our 2,5 and 10 times tables.
SUMDOG NEWS-Year 2 came 245th out of 4000 schools in the Spring competition.
Melodie came 43rd out of 36,000 pupils.

The children learnt about the Sacarment of Reconciliation in more detail. They found out that there are five stages to this
sacrament and wrote/decorated some beautiful sorry hearts.

The children played some traditional playground games and worked on their ball skills.

We worked in our garden, thinning out our seedlings and planting them in bigger pots. We also closely observed wild flower seeds using magnifying glasses.
