Year 2

Hello Year 2, This would have been my last day at school with you before our Easter break so I just wanted to send you a message to say hello. I am missing you all, just the same as Miss Shipp and Mrs Brooks are, but I hope you are enjoying some special time at home with your families and keeping safe. The Whales know how much I like running and I have been using my daily exercise allowance to run around my home. I have found lots of new routes and have enjoyed the sparkly sunshine. I hope you are keeping fit too! As Miss Shipp has told you, the three of us have been working hard to find some exciting learning. We are finding different ways to communicate and we are learning quickly. Have you found new ways to keep in touch with your friends and family? Don't forget to keep up with the tasks on the blog and keep checking for updates. Just a reminder that Phonics Play (an online resource we use in school to practise our phonics) is free at the moment. Log in u

Good Morning Year 2! I hope you are all keeping well and safe at home. Mrs Brooks, Mrs Peek and I are all working from home today and thinking of some exciting activities that you can do, at home, after the Easter break. I'm sitting at my desk this morning with my cup of tea, Spanish book and my cat Lottie by my side. I am rather excited because her kittens are going to be born in 3 weeks time! We have already posted some activities that you might like to try at home over Easter. Don't forget to write your non-chronological report about your mini-beast this week. Hopefully we will soon have a way that you can send these to us to read. I would love to hear some of the exciting things you have been doing at home. Do you have any news to share? Leave a little comment and I will reply to you :) We are all missing you a lot but are glad that you are safe at home. Love from Miss Shipp x

We have had a lovely, busy week in Year 2 with some exciting activities and really enjoyed all of our learning. In English we have read to the end of our Power of Reading book ‘Moth’ and written some book reviews about it. We have done some fantastic ‘Wonderful Writing’ (our weekly independent write) in role as one of the moths in the story. We really focussed on our handwriting and descriptions. In Maths we have continued our work on shapes and moved on to 3d shapes. We worked on counting faces, edges and vertices. Some of us found this a bit tricky so if you could help us with this at home it would be much appreciated. You could log in to Education City and have a go at some of the shape activities for Year 2 on there. We have been enjoying Science this week and have been investigating the best conditions for cress to grow. We are recording our results every day and making good observations. Our word of the week this week is camouflage and we have learnt about camoufla
