Go to... Year 2 updates Year 2 This Week’s Learning Week commencing: Monday 6th November This week, our RE (Religious Education) topic will be on Celebrations. Within this topic, we will be looking at a range of celebrations within different religions. In Maths, we will be continuing to focus on money. We will begin to look at the concept of ‘change’ as well as looking at two-step money problems. Anything you can do at home related to money would be really helpful as this has been a challenging topic. This could be looking at the denominations of coins and notes together, taking trips to the shops to look at prices and discussing the idea of change when paying for something. In Literacy, we will begin to create fact files about Polar Bears and their lives in the Arctic. We will be conducting research to gain a wealth of facts before constructing our own non-fiction reports. Please also remember that our ‘Winter Show’ takes place this week. Sadly, this will no longer be able to happen with an audience but we will be sure to still put on a fantastic show! Watch this space for details of how to watch this virtually at home. Ongoing Learning Please remind your child to read daily for 20 minutes and to bring their book into school with them each day. Books are changed every Monday. One activity on both Reading Eggs and Reading Eggspress as well as Mathletics activities are set every Friday. Logins and passwords are stuck into the back of each child’s Reading Record. Spellings are sent home every Wednesday. PE – We have outdoor PE on a Monday afternoon and indoor PE on a Friday afternoon. Please make sure your child has an appropriate PE kit on these days (especially as we will be outside for these sessions)! You are welcome to bring this on Monday and take it home on Friday. Daily Mile – On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday (weather permitted) we all go outside and run a few laps around our playground. This helps us wake up, get moving and get ready for the day.
