Year 2 Home Practice - 11th December 2020

Date: 11th Dec 2020 @ 3:52pm

Today we took part in the St Oswald’s Santa Dash. We managed to stay moving for 15 laps around the yard. Well done to all of Year 2 for showing resilience and not giving up! This week we have carried on reading The Christmasaurus. We have produced some wonderful descriptive pieces and the children have really enjoyed creating their own Christmas Ranch. In Maths we have focused on multiplication and touched on division towards the end of the week. We have used a number of various strategies to help us solve multiplication questions. In French the children have learnt about La légende de Saint Nicolas. We listened to this interesting story and made a card (in French). We are very excited for all the Christmas celebrations next week. 1 week to go! J
