he, she, no, so, my,some,our, pull, put, push

Sumdog: Complete the 'Adding multiples of 10 ' challenge. 

Counting: At home, play the 'follow me' game that you learnt in class. Count in 2's, 5's and 10's forwards and backwards.

English

This week we wrote sentences about Plop. We pretended to be Plop. We are trying so hard to form our letters with lead-ins.

We wrote a book review.

Phonics

We have been revising eigh as in eight, ey as in grey, a as in apricot and ea as in steak.

SPaG

We have been learning about conjunctions (joining words) and writing sentences including... and, but, because, so. The children are trying to use them as often as possible in their own writing.

Maths

The children have been adding/subtracting a multiple of 10 to/from a 2 digit number, 26+20 or 41-30. We have also worked on number bonds to 10 and 100.

RE

This week, we have read Psalm 139 together. The children learnt that a Psalm is a bit like a song or a prayer. They responded to the Psalm with their own art work in the style of Eva Crawford.

French

Year 2 have been drawing leaves - Fir, Birch, Hazel, Willow, Sycamore and Oak. First they used pencil, then oil pastels. Next week, we will paint over their oil pastel leaves using water colours to see the effect.

Geography

The children know the seven continents and five oceans so well now. During our lesson, we looked at the continent of Asia in more detail. 

Forest School 

Mrs Wood gave every class a bag of daffodils and we planted ours today.

We had a great time in the log circle area- building dens,making obstacle courses, cooking with apples, climbing, balancing, jumping and finding creatures.

We have been using leaves as our inspiration in our art work and we found some of the leaves outside.

Science

We learnt about food chains and drew our own.

Thank you for all your generous Harvest gifts.
