Hi Year 2,
Here is some useful information for parents/carers now that the class have settled into school and understand our timetable.
Reading books:
Reading books are swapped on a Tuesday.
Each child will have a reading record, a phonics book that is fully decodable to them and a library book they have chosen to read for pleasure.
The phonics books are swapped every Tuesday and can be swapped on a Thursday too if needed. This book should be read out loud to an adult at least three times before it is swapped. Please remember to ask your child questions about what they have read to check their understanding.
Library books are also swapped on a Tuesday (and Thursday if they want)
Please can the reading records be brought back to school every day.
Homework:
Homework is sent home on a Wednesday and needs to be returned the following Monday.
P.E.
P.E. is on Monday and Wednesdays. Please bring a P.E. kit and ensure that earrings are removed.
Some children also do football or sports on a Friday for University.
We decided our actions as a class and drew matching pictures for each statement to help us remember it.
Enjoy!
My university group did a super job cleaning up our school environment.
We love a bit of team work! Fantastic work, everyone.
We have been learning about tens and ones in our maths lessons.
To help us understand we have been using practical apparatus to show us place value. We have used dienes, bead strings and natural resources to represent numbers.
“Can you show me 23?”
“I’ve got two tens and three ones.”
“Can you show me 33?”
“I know I’ve got 33 because I’ve got 1,2,3 tens so that’s thirty. And then 3 ones!”
“Can you show me 11?”
“My stick means 10, and my leaf means 1. So I’ve got 1 ten and 1 one, and that’s 11.”
What a very chaotic but fantastic year we have had. We have loved having you all in Year 2 and we will miss you so much next year. Have a wonderful summer and hopefully we turned a difficult year into a happy and memorable one in school for you.
Thank you to you all for being a lovely class.
Thank you also for all our lovely gifts.
Hip Hip Hooray for Year 2 and all they have achieved this year!
Enjoy the photos. Love Mrs Rooke and Mrs Barrott xx
Check out our independent recount writing. Wow! You should feel so proud of yourselves, Year 2.
Today we had a day of celebrations. The class had a well deserved fun afternoon after a very hard half term. Well done to everybody!
What a lovely day we had!
Well done to EW for amazing progress in your reading this half term.
