Wow, what a lovely week Year 2 has had! In our writing lessons we have been writing in role as Traction man to share his adventures. We have been challenging ourselves to use conjunctions such as 'and' 'because' and 'but'. In our DT lesson, we were thinking about different materials we could use for our superhero puppets and which would be the most suitable. Next week, we are excited for our Superhero day on Monday, where we will be taking part in a range of activites linking to our text. |

What a fabulous week Year 2 has had this week! In our writing we have explored Traction mans wild adventures in the sink and rewritten this in our own words using adverbs to add more detail. On Wednesday, we thoroughly enjoyed the Diwali workshop - the children worked so hard learning the routine and developing their knowledge on Diwali. Next week, we will be starting to design our own Superhero puppets in DT and beginning to think about the materials we will use for these. |

Wow, what a lovely week Year 2 has had this week. In our writing, the children have been excited about exploring their new text 'Traction Man'. Yesterday, Traction man suddenly went missing, so the children worked hard to write a description, so everyone knew what Traction man looked like! I was blown away by the children's determination to use a range of adjectives and puncuuation - well done Year 4! |

Year 2 finished the first half-term strong! This week we wrapped up many of our topics by exploring the needs of survival for animals and humans, we fine-tuned our locational knowledge of the U.K., and we created our own Frida Kahlo-inspired masterpieces. The latter had us venturing out to the playground for a nature walk to collect materials that would enhance our drawings. We also drafted journal entries from the POV of our book's protagonist, and we developed our addition and subtraction using base 10 models. It was a busy week filled with learning. Have a great half-term break! |

Year 2 has had a busy week of learning! In Maths, we are enhancing our base ten skills with our known facts as we add and subtract across 10. In writing, we wrote letters to Pattan from our class reading offering advice. We also used role play to imagine how he would respond. We discussed the importance of exercise to sustain a long life and learnt our next facial feature to add to our self-portraits. The students are working hard to finish this half-term strong! |

Year 2 had another great week of learning! In Maths, we expanded our knowledge of place value as we used ten frames to aid our addition problems. We also composed our own setting descriptions using adjectives and correlating conjunctions to extend our sentences. We reviewed actions and consequences in PSHE, and shared memories of when we have made good choices and the result of our actions. Our weekly highlight was practising our balance in tennis as we practised hitting with a racquet. |

We had a fabulous week in Year 2! We began our new PoR text in writing where we dived into the world of figurative language. We used similes to create our own sense poems on pumpkins. In maths, we wrapped up our unit on place value and learnt number bonds and fact families that will serve as the base for our second unit in addition and subtraction. In Art, we broke down our portrait features and perfected how to draw eyes using whiteboards. I'm so proud of the effort the children have put forth when meeting challenges in class and persevering through our new learning. |

It has been a wonderful week of learning and an end to the first month of this school year! In writing, we focused on our fundamental skills, and we have been working to identify nouns, verbs, and adjectives. We developed our counting facts and practised our 2s, 5s, and 10s in Maths. Also, we continued to explore the U.K. and found the surrounding bodies of water. In PSHE, we explored our roles and responsibilities inside and outside the classroom, and discussed what it means to belong. |

It has been a busy week full of learning in Year 2! We dove into number lines in maths and deepened our knowledge into base 10. We finished reading The Fox and the Star and wrote our own versions. We also met Jigsaw Jo in this week's PSHE class. Have a wonderful weekend! |

Year 2 has had a lovely week settling into our new classroom and learning new routines. This we have been exploring our new power of reading the text ‘The Fox and Star’ and thinking about how we can be kind friends. This helped us create some lovely friendship recipes, which help us be even better friends in the playground. In our lessons, we have been developing our drawing skills and drawing self-portraits. We hope everyone has a lovely weekend - we are excited to see you all on Monday. |

The first week of Year 2 was exciting! The children worked hard and played well with their peers. We worked on classroom routines and quickly settled into Year 2. We dove into place value in Maths and showed different ways to represent numbers 1-20. We learnt how to lengthen our writing by making predictions and using adjectives to illustrate our reading. It was a great first week of getting to know each other, and I am looking forward to a great year ahead! |
