Year 2 Friday 25th February 2022
Date: 25th Feb 2022 @ 8:35am
Year 2 have had a great first week back after half term. They have been working really hard and have produced some fantastic pieces of work, a big well done to everyone. The book award books have been a success and the children have enjoyed talking about them and taking them home to read. I wonder which one will be their favourite! In English, we have become journalists and done some interviewing, recount writing and learnt about the third person, past and present tense. We have continued reading the novel, The Boy Who Grew Dragons and done some great descriptipns using interesting adjectives. Our new topic in Maths is place value and the children also looked at time, please ask your children to tell the time now and then at home, especially o’clock, half past, quarter past and quarter to. In RE we read the story about The Last Supper and thought about our Lenten promises. The children did a survey in Science and looked for different materials around their tables, in class and outside. In Geography, we have started our new topic all about Australia. We began to learn the words for some vegetables in French through games and a song. We practised our colour and number words too.
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.
You could write down these new words in a word book and find out what they mean. It is amazing to see the list grow, something to be very proud of, especially when children realise how many more words they understand and can use!
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 home on Tuesday. However, if you need to change a book another time, we will change it as needed.

In addition to this, reading a good bed time story to your child is so worthwhile and really helps towards a lifelong love of reading.
Spelling
Please practise these spellings for your quiz on Friday. A sheet will go home every Tuesday with the spelling list on. This is for home practise only and can be kept with you.
It is useful to write the words down on the spelling sheet, but also to call the words out and spell them out loud using the letter sounds or names. Other ideas include breaking the words up and writing them down in different colours (camel). You could look for words within words (tinsel)or think of your own ways to remember the word for example, spell it aloud using a tune or song.
You have a Sumdog challenge on these words to complete by next Friday.
This week’s spellings are:
camel tinsel
tunnel bagel
squirrel hazel
travel vowel
towel jewel
Maths
At home, count forwards and backwards in 5s to 60. Start at different numbers each time. For example, start counting forwards from 20 or backwards from 50. Look at how this relates to the clock and telling the time.
Practise 2, 5, 10 and 3-times tables on a game called Hit the Button.

Year 2 have had a brilliant week of learning. We have continued reading our novels of ‘The boy who grew dragons’ and ‘The Fox, Tin Forest and the Whale Song‘. The children have written a fantastic dragon description using great and interesting vocabulary, edited their work to make their sentences better and wrote facts about African animals.
In Maths, we have started learning about Capacity and Volume. This week we have looked at what capacity and volume is and measured liquid using a variety of containers to see the amount using millilitres and litres.
In French, the children have learnt the names of some fruits and began to understand that some nouns are masculine and some are feminine in French. We enjoyed doing the conga to the song J'aime les fruits! You can find the song on YouTube by Alain le Lait if you'd like to hear it!
In Geography, the children have learnt about the United Kingdom and the countries within it. We have looked at the Atlas and used it to find and label these countries on the map.
In RE, the children have continued their learning on the Gospels. The children have described how the Gospels are used by the parish family and written how they can do what Jesus wants them to do at school and at home.

This week in Year 2 our novels include ‘The Boy Who Grew Dragons’ and ‘The Fox, Tin Forest and Whale Song‘. The children have compared the stories and written which is their favourite ready to edit themselves next week. The children have also written a diary in first person, provided a list of positives and negatives for owning a dragon as a pet and taken part in reading the novel together as a class. Today we were lucky enough to explore dragon fruits which was very exciting! (Luckily no dragons were hiding inside!).
In maths, we have started our learning on fractions. This week we have looked at halves, quarters and fifths of numbers and shapes. We have learnt about all the important vocabulary we need to know about fractions.
In computing, the children have learnt a brilliant song all about how they can stay safe online at home. This week the children learnt about green, amber and red games on tablets and understanding why they can go on specific ones.
In geography this week the children recapped all about the oceans. We then looked at the continents and what they are. The children used maps and a digital atlas to find all the continents and the oceans which surrounds them.
In RE, the children have looked at Gospel readings and explored what happens in Church when the Priest reads these out.

Happy New Year! We hope you had a lovely Christmas break. Year 2 have had a brilliant first week back in school, it has been great to see their smiles and happy faces again. Our novels this week in English are Leaf and non-fiction. The children have looked at features of non-fiction texts and have written some great questions to Leaf the polar bear. In Maths, we have started multiplication, finding arrays as repeated addition. We have explored shapes in the environment in Art this week. In Science, the children have really enjoyed taking part in an investigation all about which ball will bounce the highest. The children came up with brilliant questions all about different ball types including colours, materials and sizes. In French, the children have learnt about how French people celebrate La fete des Rois – the Feast of Epiphany. The children are also beginning to write some sentences in French – tres bien!

Too often, children can run rings around their parents when it comes to online safety, but guardians must stay clued up, warns Elizabeth Kitto (prevent education officer for Barking and Dagenham)
While there are a number of important areas of Online Safety, these are the big four.
Filters
Filters are amazing and can set healthy, age-appropriate boundaries for free on any device connected to the home WiFi. These can be set through a phone call to any internet provider and updated as children grow. Updates are incredibly important to gradually increase exposure and allow young people to build resilience as they mature.
Make sure that you are aware that any devices with their own data sets, like phones, will need their filters set separately. And remember that you can set passwords to override the filter system so you don't miss out on any of the film releases that would be less suitable for your 10-year-old.
Safe search engines
For under 10s, setting the homepage to a safe search engine is an excellent way to overcome mishaps. We have all had a seemingly innocent image search go awry, and by using child-friendly sites like Smiggle, YouTube Kids and KidRex, we can reduce that risk substantially. Some large web search providers do have safe search options but, be aware, these are very easy to switch off.
As for older children (year 6), it's all about reinforcing the importance of responsibility. Leaning over a child's shoulder at all times or attempting to monitor their screens using apps is less likely to create a healthy relationship and more likely to teach them how to creatively sneak past you.
Algorithms
Have you ever bought a pair of jeans and then been bombarded with ads for jeans for the next three months? That's an algorithm. They collect information and send us materials that will make us tick. While this may be great for our wardrobe, it can create problems regarding echo chambers and fake news.
Reinforce the importance of learning about the world from mainstream media channels rather than stories from social media or news suggestions from their phones. This can build a more balanced knowledge of the world within the home and help you recognise when you or your children are straying into conspiracy theories and bias debates, and instead form healthy informational environments.
Social media
Social media is often the centre of a young person's world and while many parents may have a Facebook account, they may be less au fait with the newer, young models.
For younger children, play around on social media sites alongside your child, learn together how to block and apply appropriate privacy settings to form a positive online space.
For older children, reinforce the message of accountability. What happens on the internet can be difficult to erase. Many young people have no interest in "friending" their parents, and respect of space can build trust, but if you have any concerns, ensure that the parents feel they can have an open a supportive dialogue to air out any worries.

The children were fantastic in The Nativity, well done to everyone. I am sure you all enjoyed watching it at home together. Year 2’s Christmas jumpers were fabulous today, we all looked very festive and it was great to enjoy a Christmas dinner with crackers. Thank you for all the lovely cards, the children loved to give them out to one another. In English, they wrote their own animal stories, completed their non-chronological reports on owls and wrote Christmas acrostic poems. We have done some quizzes in Maths to see how much the children have learnt so far. They were great at naming 2-D and 3-D shapes and very quick with their addition and subtraction facts. In RE, we learnt about the Angel Gabriel visiting Mary and talked about what they said to each other. We have done a lot of Art and the children designed some excellent repeating Christmas patterns and used different materials to print with.
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.

A very busy week for Year 2, time is passing so quickly and the children are doing really well in all their learning. We lit the first Advent candle and spent some time preparing for our Nativity Play. It’s beginning to feel like Christmas, hopefully the children will be singing the songs at home and sharing all the excitement about what characters they are. In English, we read The Owl who was afraid of the Dark and answered comprehension questions. We also used library books to look for past and present tense verbs. We have started to work on shape in Maths, the children are very good at naming 2-D shapes and their properties. The Big Draw started this week, so we’ve been doing a lot of Art work. The children learnt about Miranda Lloyd and will be using her work to inspire their own. During PSHE, the children realised that it’s important to talk about our worries. They drew some super habitats and wrote facts about them in Science. In RE, we decorated boxes with all the things we do to prepare for Christmas. Well done everyone, keep up the great work!

Year 2 have had a great week of learning. In English, we have read The Tale of Peter Rabbit and The Flat Rabbit. We have explored great vocabulary and interesting words which we can then use in our own writing. In Maths we have continued learning about subtraction and addition. In History, we started our topic on ‘The Great Fire of London’ and explored the timeline of events that took place. Science was very interesting; the children explored microhabitats. In PSHE we had a lovely circle time talking about Anti-Bullying and the focus this year is ‘One kind Word’. The children have worked hard this week to say lots of kind things to each other.

Year 2 Home Practice Friday 12th November 2021
Date: 12th Nov 2021 @ 4:27pm
Year 2 have been working so hard this week and it really shows in the excellent pieces of work they have produced. In English, we have read Hansel and Gretel and The Little Story That Didn’t Want to Be Told. The focus has been on using great adjectives and conjunctions to make sentences longer and more interesting. Our new topic in Maths is addition and subtraction. The children have been looking at partitioning a number into tens and ones to help with calculations. In History, we learnt about Remembrance Day and made poppies. Science was very interesting; the children explored microhabitats. We learnt all about Judaism in RE, with a focus on Shabbat. Keep up the great work everyone.

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.

Year 2 Home Practice Friday 8th October 2021
Date: 8th Oct 2021 @ 3:38pm
Another fantastic week in Year 2, the children are really enjoying their learning and trying so hard to follow the Golden Rules. Some of the work that has been produced this week has been amazing and a few children have been doing extra writing at home! We enjoyed reading their stories and looking at their illustrations, a big well done. The story, Burglar Bill is very popular, the children have role-played parts of the story with burglar masks and their Wanted Posters were excellent. In Maths, we have used a lot of maths equipment to solve problems, and class discussion shows the children are gaining a deeper knowledge of place value. In RE, they wrote beautiful poems about all the things they wonder about God and the illustrations were lovely. It was good to go outside for Geography and look at the human and physical features around the school grounds. The children missed Forest School last week due to the bad weather, so it was great to have another session making wands from sticks and leaves, it is always Year 2’s favourite thing to do.

We have had a great week in Year 2, well done to everyone for trying so hard with their learning. Our new novel is Burglar Bill by Janet and Allan Ahlberg. The children made some great predictions about the story and created a list of ideas to help Burglar Bill with the baby. In Maths, we started the Red Rose Mastery scheme, the lessons focused on number and place value. In Geography, the children have drawn and labelled the school grounds and explored the key features of maps. In RE, they wrote their own Psalms thanking God for our friends. The portraits they drew were fantastic, very colourful and in the style of Picasso.
Keep up the good work everybody, we are looking forward to next week, and have a great weekend.

We have had a super week of learning in Year 2. We had a wonderful meditation session from Miss Rebecca where we relaxed our bodies and minds. Mrs Winter helped us put on a fabulous performance for World Music Day and we had a fantastic whole school celebration. Our video is in the class gallery, please take a look on our Year 2 page. We have had a great week in PE. We have practised our events for Sports Day on Monday and we took part in a cross country race around school. We all pushed ourselves and it was a brilliant effort from everyone. In Maths, we have learnt all about fractions. We now know how to find a half and quarter of a number. We also managed to study an artist called Georgia O'Keeffe. We loved the way she zoomed in on flowers and we managed to replicate her style using watercolour paint. What an amazing week from Year 2.
