Welcome to our blog.

Sport’s day

Tuesday afternoon at 1.15. If the weather seems to be improving suddenly can you make sure that the children come to school with sunscreen on already and wear a hat. The children will be wearing their uniform PE kit and we would appreciate if you could make sure that their pumps still fit. Thank you very much.

This week we will be completing a variety of numerical activities. We will be writing the ordinal places in numbers and words, and solving ordinal number problems. We will also be completing activities where we write numbers in words, and completing 1 more/1 less and 10 more/10 less sums as well as recording as many sums as we can that make 10, including additions, subtractions, repeated additions and divisions if possible.

This week we will be finishing the poem we started last week and completing a poetry comprehension. We will continue to focus on mini-beasts and write an acrostic poem and a shape poem using a variety of describing words, about mini-beasts.

Year 2 Maths

This week the children will be focussing on money in maths. They will be adding and subtracting money and will be using diagrams and pictures to help them.

This week we will be using lots of books by Anthony Brown. The children will be saying what they like and dislike about books. The children will be using conjunctions and adjectives to improve their sentences and they will be writing a blurb for Willy the wimp. The children will also be reading the gorilla by Anthony Brown.

English 1 / 2

For the last two weeks, we have been looking at the book Biscuit Bear by Mini Grey, which the children really enjoyed. This week we will be moving on to look at another one of her books, 'The Adventures of the Dish and the Spoon'. From this book we will be making predictions based on the front cover, writing our own blurb for the book, using adjectives to describe the characters and responding to the plot, events and characters.

We will also be completing spelling activities and guided reading.


Maths
We will spend another lesson looking at fractions, as this is something that the children found difficult last week. We will then be moving on to exploring and using cuisenaire rods and the bar model to represent number bonds to 10/20 (y1) and be using the bar model to help us understand and solve addition problems. 


Science
This week, we will continue with our topic 'Materials'. We will be thinking of ways to describe the materials, looking at their properties and commenting on the suitability of materials for a specific purpose.
