Surrey

In Surrey 2 this week we have been continuing our shape learning and also focussing on our 2, 5, and 10 times tables. Well done to everyone who has been logging on to Time Tables Rock Stars and Numbots this week. Surrey class are doing really well! Please ask if you are having any problems with logging on to the sites.

In English we have continued to enjoy our text ‘The Last Wolf’ and some children wrote an alternative ending to the story, using the adjectives and adverbs that we have been learning about this week to extend their sentences and add description.

In History we have looked in detail at Martin Luther King this week and the children have had some interesting questions as we explore his famous speech and the changes that took place.

Thank you to those parents helping their children to learn lines for the Christmas play, it is beginning to take shape! Please send any costumes in a named bag by this Friday 1^st December.

A few parents have asked me recently about the methods we use for teaching maths at Southborough. Please see below a link to our calculations policy which shows the methods used in each year group. Please ask if you have any further questions.

Home Learning: 

Reading

Children should be reading everyday and once a week this can be logged on Boom reader.

• All children who are on RWI will bring home a RWI Reading book each Friday, please return them the following Wednesday. 
• Children in Year 2 also begin to bring home a book from the Discovery Centre which is levelled according to the Accelerated Reader (AR) scheme  https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/accelerated-reader-1/

      These books can be returned and swapped as soon as they are finished. There is also a quiz                    associated with these books https://www.southborough.kent.sch.uk/year-2-1/

Note: some children will bring home both a RWI Reading book and an AR levelled reading book - please read both with your child.
Both books should be left in their bags so they can read them at school, as well as at home, to enhance their fluency.

Spelling

The new spelling groups have been working well this week. Please see below the spellings per group. Spelling test will be Wednesday 29th November.

Please find linked below the list of spellings Year 2 will be practising throughout the year. Strategies to practise spellings can be found on the Oxford Owl website, here.
