What a busy week it has been for Year 2!


In maths we have finished our first multiplication topic. We solved some Christmas word problems using our knowledge of multiplication.
We also began collecting some data from our friends. We chose a Christmas themed question with three possible answers. We made a tally to show how many children selected each option...

"What is your favourite Christmas food?"

Turkey                           |||| 4

Christmas Pudding      ||  2

Chocolate Yule Logs    |||| 4

After collecting our data we then transferred our tally marks into a pictogram.


We also started to learn how to divide number using sharing. We found out that division is the inverse (opposite) of multiplication. We can practise division at home by counting how many 2/3/5/10 are in the numbers, e.g.
50 divided by 10 … how many times do you need to count in 10s to get to 50?


On Wednesday we found a letter from our class elf! There was a huge dilemma! Lots of elves in Father Christmas' workshop had called in sick because they have developed tinselitus. Our elves asked us to help save Christmas by writing some job adverts to recruit new elves to finish making and wrapping the toys. Hopefully we have managed to save Christmas!

In Spanish we have been learning some Christmas phrases and also made Spanish Christmas cards.



We would like to say a very big well done to all of the children for their fantastic performances at the Christmas play on Monday and Tuesday. They have worked so hard and we are all very proud of them!


Notes and Reminders

- There are no new spellings being sent home over Christmas but please continue to help your child learn the spellings that are already in their books. There will be a quiz on a selection of the words sent home, throughout the Autumn Term, on the first Monday back after Christmas.

weekly news 2.10.20

Dear Parents, it's been another lovely week and it was great to meet a lot of you at our Zoom parents evenings. Please could you send in a small disposable plastic water bottle before Thusday? We are doing something with them during our Science lesson on Thursday and it would be great if every child had a bottle to use please. This week we have enjoyed making whale pictures in Art, using a wax resist method and then marbling the backgrounds. We also had a session of listening to dolphin and whale sounds and music and drawing abstract art and patterns. This was done in a similar style and manner to how Kandinsky likes to work. We are all enjoying reading George's Marvellous Medicine together during our snack/story time after play every day. We have also started improving our handwriting every morning, during registration. In English we all wrote instructions for how to make an egg box dragon. The children all worked on this piece of writing independently and did really
