Welcome to our blog.
The year 2 did really well coping with the pressures of the tests.
We were really proud of hem and we hope their results will reflect the hard
work that they have put in.
We are continuing with HOLIDAYS AND HOLY DAYS.
We will be finishing off the topic this week. We will be
thinking about how people feel when they have received the Holy Spirit. The children
will be completing their formal assessment.
Homework
Normal spellings and
sentences were sent home his week.
Thank you to everyone that sent them back on time.

and any Year 2 who didn’t achieve the expected level in Year 1 will resit in at
the same time. The children have to read 32 words which include some alien

This week we will continue to focus our work on the story Jack and the Beanstalk. We will complete a comprehension based on the story and write sentences containing adjectives to describe the characters. We will also be writing an apology letter to the giant from Jack. We will also be focusing on phonics and reading activities.
Maths
In Maths this week we will be finishing our work based on Jack and the Beanstalk and will be learning about fractions. We will be shading in given fractions and focusing on knowing how to find 1/2 and 1/4 of a given amount - of both a shape and number.

This week we will be studying the author Julia Donaldson. We
will spend Monday’s lesson looking at a range of her books, reading them and
talking about which ones we like best and why. If you have any Julia Donaldson
books at home, please bring them in and share them with the class. Year 2
children will be writing a book review about their favourite.
We will spend the rest of
the week writing a letter to Julia Donaldson, telling her how much we enjoy her
books and that we will look forward to spending time writing stories based on
her books over the next few weeks.

This

length in both standard and non-standard units. We will be doing lots of
problem solving on this topic and working together as groups.

We will be deepening our understanding of partitioning and place
value. We will also be practising adding with and without regrouping. We will
be subtracting with and without exchanging a ten. We will be dividing with and
without remainders.
