Year 2 Blog- Friday 4th April 2025

Home Practice

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.

Remember you will get a sticker on your book mark for every book you read!

Spelling:

There will be no spellings to learn over the holiday.

Sumdog:

Counting:

Starting at zero, count in twos forwards and backwards to 100.

Play the 'follow me' game where one person says the multiple of two and the other person says the next multiple of two.

Continue like this, then try to go faster!

Remember when we multiply by 2 we double the number and when we divide by 2 we halve the number!

English

The children wrote some great Easter shape poems (bunnies, eggs and crosses) and tried to use alliteration and similes. 

Maths

We learned how to add 2 digit numbers by exchanging, for example,26 + 37, the 7 and 6 can be exchanged for 1 ten and 3 ones, which makes the addition easier.

We are continuing to learn our 2,5 and 10 times tables.

R.E.

The children learnt about the Resurrection and wrote about finding Jesus' empty tomb from the perspective of Mary Magdalene, Joanna or Mary the mother of James.

D.T.

We had a great morning making our vehicles. We followed our plans and made a chassis, axles and wheels. We also evaluated our vehicles.

Forest School

A great Easter egg hunt!

We worked in teams to find all the eggs.

Library Visit

We walked down to the library and Lorraine read three stories to us. We listened so well and contributed to the discussions.

We followed instructions to make a paper bunny.

We also explored the library and read some of the books.

Orienteering

We had a great session of orienteering. We worked in pairs and learnt how to orientate the map and use it to find the markers.

We collected clues. We showed excellent teamwork and it was great fun!
