Year 2 Home Practice - 21st May 2021

Date: 21st May 2021 @ 3:36pm

We have had a great week in Year 2. This week in English we continued our story, Georges Marvellous Medicine. We wrote some instructions for making our own marvellous concoction and we used alliteration and similes in our writing. We managed to get up to the chapter 7 - Grandma gets the medicine. The children are having a great time reading the story. In Maths, we have consolidated previous learning and we have tackled some tricky addition and subtraction questions. We answered these questions by drawing base 10 and exchanging. In French this week, we continued to practise the vocabulary for clothes with games, songs and stories. We tried to record our own version of a story with clothes in it! We are approaching the end of our striking and fielding unit in PE and we have really enjoyed practising our over arm throw and striking skills. We really enjoyed playing our strike out game on the field. In Re we have looked at what it takes to be one of God’s Saints. We generated some really thoughtful discussions as a class. A brilliant week Year 2, well done!

Well done to the 21 children who have had a go at the SumDog challenges this week. Those children will receive dojos for going on and completing the work set. There will be a prize for the child with the most individual dojo points this week.

Reading

In Year 2 we aim to read for a minimum of 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an older sibling or adult to help deepen your knowledge.

Reading books are changed every Monday so please remember to bring in your book bag.
