Year 2 Home Practice 5th November 2021

Date: 5th Nov 2021 @ 1:11pm

We hope you all had a lovely half term. We have had a great first week back of learning. In English this week the children have read The Bear and the Piano and Five Little Fiends. They have done lots of writing, including character descriptions and sequencing the story. The children are working really hard to use their lead-ins in all their English lessons. In Maths, they have been learning all about measure. Our PSHE lesson was introducing this terms topic of ‘Managing our feelings’. In Computing, the children worked on coding and Sumdog. In French the children have made a wreath of hands as a symbol of peace and friendship. 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.
