Junk Modelling Request

As part of our History learning about Neil Armstrong and the Apollo 11 mission, the children will be creating their own Apollo 11 rockets using junk modelling materials next week.

If you have any clean recycling materials at home, such as small boxes, cardboard tubes, or other suitable items, we would be very grateful if you could send them into school for the lesson on Tuesday.

Thank you for your support!🚀

Parent consultations - Tuesday 3rd and Wednesday 4th November. 

Well done Year 2 - what an exciting week!

In English, we practised writing dictated sentences based on our text 'Look Up'. We focused on ensuring that we included capital letters, finger spaces and full stops. 

In Maths, we have focused on subtraction from a 10 and across a ten. E.g. 32 – 5, jump back 2 to 30. Then jump back 3 more. Answer = 27.  We partitioned the 5 to allow us to get back to the previous 10. We are excited to build on this method throughout the year.

In History, we have been discovering more about Christopher Columbus and how / why he is known as a significant explorer. How much can you remember to tell your adult?

In Science over the past 2 weeks we have been looking into types of movement and exercise. There have been many new exercises learnt and our teachers have thoroughly enjoyed demonstrating them – with some planks from teachers not going quite to plan 😊

Thank you for your engagement in our spelling tests – please see below for our new spellings and continue to support your children learning these at home.

Well done Year 2 for a brilliant week!

Please note PE will take place on Mondays and Fridays for Term 1. PE kits will be sent home on a Friday, please ensure they are returned on Monday. Thank you!
