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.

Happy New Year to you all!
Well it has been a rather unusual start to the new term and 2025! I think we have all had enough of the snow and ice now and hopefully it will all be gone by Monday.
All things considered the children have made a fantastic start to the term. In Maths we have started our unit of work on Multiplication and Division. Your help at home working with your child on counting in 2's 5's and 10's would be much appreciated in preparation for learning their times tables.
In English our writing this half term is linked to 'Superhero' stories and characters. This week we have been looking at Elastigirl from the film 'The Incredibles'. The children have looked at her in action and written a description of this amazingly flexible superhero. Next week we start looking at the book 'Traction Man'.
Our topic this half term is all about the United Kingdom. Remember to look at our class page to find the latest curriculum overview which has more details of all the things the children will be learning this term.
Enjoy your weekend.
