25th January 2018

It's been a busy couple of weeks here in Year 2, with lots of hard work and determination from our fantastic classes. 

Here's a summary of what we've been up to; 

• In Maths we have been exploring multiplication. It's really important for our pupils to learn their 2, 5, and 10 times tables, so any practise at home is valuable and appreciated.
  
• In Literacy we have been honing our skills in description by learning how to use a thesaurus to find synonyms. We've also been learning to write in character in the 1st person.
  
• Topic has been all about famous people from history. So far we have had some great discussions about how Harriet Tubman and Thomas Barnardo helped so many people in their lives. After half term we will study Florence Nightingale in some depth, with a whole day of immersion into her life and legacy. A letter has gone out with more information, please return the slip to school as soon as possible.

Just a gentle reminder to drop off your children on the infant playground and to let them walk around and enter school independently. This will reallyhelp prepare them for their school day and life in the juniors. 

Have a safe and fun weekend, 

the Year Two Team.
