Year 2 Home Practice Friday 15th October 2021

Date: 15th Oct 2021 @ 4:15pm

Well done Year 2, we have had another great week of learning. The story Flat Stanley by Jeff Brown was fun to read and the children responded well during class discussion. They have done lots of writing, including a poem about Flat Stanley using interesting adjectives and a description of themselves, as if they had become flat! Some of their illustrations were fabulous! In Maths, they have been comparing numbers and rounding to the nearest ten. We will be moving on to measuring length and mass next week. Our PSHE lesson (circle time) was spent discussing friendship and kindness. In Computing, the children worked on coding and Sumdog. The paintings they did in Art are going to look creative and colourful on our display. Keep up the great work everyone.

Reading

In Year 2 children should read for at least 15 minutes every night and discuss the book with an adult or older sibling. This will help with understanding the text and learning new words.

Please sign and leave a small comment when you have read with your child and make it clear that you have finished a book, then we know we can change it.

Reading books are changed every Monday and sent out on Tuesday. However, if you need to change a book, we will change it as needed.
