Harvest Festival Assembly

We’d like to say a massive thank you for the generous donations of food that was sent into school on Wednesday for our Harvest Festival. When it was all packed up, it filled 15 huge boxes, 3 more than last year which is wonderful. The local foodbank was extremely appreciative so thank you so much.

Across the year group we have been busy as usual. In English we did our first big write! The children worked very hard on their descriptive animal leaflet. Appropriate adjectives, different sentence starters and a fair amount of connectives were flying about the classroom as the children wrote their paragraphs. It was also lovely to see so many children trying hard with their cursive handwriting, I’m still practising mine and I do believe it is getting better each week!

In maths we have been working hard on partitioning numbers in different ways and thinking about part, part, whole. Number fluency is a huge part of todays maths curriculum and the children will continue to work over the year to achieve number fluency within the 1-100 range.

In PE, we have been practising our ball skills, independently and with a partner and playing a variety of games to develop our hand eye coordination. We’ve also been continuing with My Happy Mind practices as well as our music learning based on pitch.

Reminders:

Spelling tests for everyone on Monday and new spellings will be given out.

Book change day is every Monday.  All reading books and diaries need to be in school every day.

Every child needs to have their own water bottle in school.

Thank you for your continued support with listening to your child read at home and practising spellings. It really does make a huge difference to the children.

I think that’s it for now, have a lovely weekend.

Kind regards,

The Year 2 Team.
