25.09.20 weekly blog

Dear Parents, We've had a lovely week, despite the rain. On Monday we had an exciting 'Wow Day' to launch our new topic - Muck, Mess and Mixtures. We've also been making Egg box dragons, as they connect with the book we our using in our English lessons. We reminded ouselves what nouns and adjectivees are and we learnt about noun phrases and how to use a comma. In maths, we learnt how to partition numbers in a fun way: Chips and Peas, (tens and ones). Next week, year 2 will be on the grass at platime and so will be needing wellies please. This half term there will be no homework for any of the children at our school but the children will be bringing home reading books weekly. Please try to read their book with them every night, as this helps to improve their reading fluency. The school will not be writing in their reading record books from now on, (due to covid) but we will collect them in periodically. Please keep writing in them regularly though if possible please. Your child will be issued a new phonics book to read every week and a new library book every other week. THank you so much for all the egg boxes you sent in. Next week we would love you to send in small (500ml) empty water bottles please if possible, as the following week we are going to make sensory bottles with different coloured water/oil etc. Have a lovely weekend, Year 2 team P.S. We are not allowed to help children to take thei earrings out before P.E. so please could they either not wear them on P.E. days, or learn how to tape them up with their own tape or take them out themselves. Many thanks I
