Another very busy week!
On Tuesday we had a Skipping Workshop with Katie. This is in preparation for the Skipping Festival we will take part in later in the year. The children all joined in well and shown good levels of perseverance. Skipping is not easy!
In maths we have continued our work on division and multiplication. We have been dividing and multiplying by 2, 5 and 10. The children are showing great enthusiasm for this unit of work. We have had more children achieving 'TImes Tables Certificates' this week. Your help at home working on these Times Tables at home is much appreciated.
In English we have been planning and writing our own Traction Man adventure. The children have enjoyed sharing their story ideas with each other. Next week we will be beginning a new Superhero story.
Our Geography work this week has been looking at some of the Human and Physical Features of the United Kingdom. The children have been sorting landmarks in to groups of Human or Physical.
Enjoy your weekend.

The children have all worked very hard this week and shown great enthusiasm!
In English we have continued our story ‘Traction Man’. This week we have been focusing on sequencing the story and retelling it orally. The children all tried very hard to retell the story using key vocabulary from the book.
In maths we have been multiplying and dividing using both sharing and grouping. We have also been working on knowing our 2, 5 and 10 Times Table facts fluently. Well done to all the children who have achieved a certificate this week for knowing these Times Tables facts and being able to answer the number sentences for the test in 6 minutes. We will be continuing with this unit of work next week.
Our topic work this week has been all about the Countries and Capital Cities of the United Kingdom and the Seas that surround it. We have also learning about the points of a compass. The children enjoyed getting outside to use a compass to locate landmarks round school.
Next week Year 2 have their ‘Skipping Workshop’ on Tuesday morning. Please remember to send your child to school in their PE kit on this day.
Have a great weekend!

It has been good to see the snow slowly disappear this week and for the children to get outside again.
In English we have continued our Superhero theme for writing. We have started our new text 'Traction Man'. The children have enjoyed listening to the story of Traction Man's Adventures. We have been recapping on expanded noun phrases and using them in our writing to describe this 'Superhero'.
In maths we have continued our work on Multiplication and Division. We have been looking at the 'X' sign and using arrays and repeated addition to solve number sentences.
In PE we have been working on our skipping skills. Year 2 have a Workshop soon ... watch this space!
Have a wonderful weekend.
