Year 2 Home Practice - 26th March 2021

Date: 26th Mar 2021 @ 1:42pm

We have had another brilliant week in Year 2. This week we have been focusing on a new story in English – Fantastic Mr Fox by Roald Dahl. We have produced character descriptions to describe the three evil farmers and we have created wanted posters to try and catch the cunning Mr Fox. We are all looking forward to continuing the story next week. In Maths we have continued to consolidate previous learning, whilst also discovering new strategies for addition and subtraction. In RE we have discussed the events of Palm Sunday. We created our own palm leaves and crosses before re-enacting the events of that special day. In Science we have looked at the strength of different pieces of paper. We made predictions, developed an experiment and recorded the results. We have had a superb week!
