Time for some R and R!
I can’t believe we are at half term already, those first seven weeks have flown by and we have done so much already. The children have been fabulous in settling down quickly and getting on with the business of being a Year 2 person!
We have had a very busy week finishing our Incy Wincy Spider stories. The children worked hard remembering to write in the past tense and include lots of interesting detail. Well done Year 2, we are looking to reading them all.
In maths we carried on with our partitioning learning. Partitioning the same number in different ways using tens and ones and representing these using cherry diagrams. The children are developing a great sense of part part whole which, as I have mentioned before, plays a big part of the Year 2 maths curriculum. We also refreshed our memories as we looked and worked with the greater/less than/equal to symbols. The children always enjoy talking about the big crocodile mouth to help them remember!
Thank you to everyone who made an appointment for parent’s evening, it was lovely to talk to you all and let you know how your children have settled in to Year 2 and suggest things you can do to help support your children in their learning. We really do value all your help with consolidating learning at home, we couldn’t do it without you, so we are sending you a massive thank you.
Hopefully everyone who would like to be in the Christmas Choir has replied by now as the deadline has now closed. We will be starting rehearsals early next half term which will take place at lunchtime for about 10 minutes each time so there will still be plenty of time for eating and play but your child will be expected to attend if they have signed up for choir!
Thank you to anyone who has signed up to be a parent helper in class. There is still time if you’d like to come along and help on a regular basis. Please ensure that you have shown your up to date DBS to the office before starting. Please see the lovely ladies in the office if you need help with anything DBS related.
I think that’s about it for now. I’ll be handing the blog over to Miss Heafford for the next half term so you can have a different writing style to read! Once again, thank you for all your support and we hope you have a fabulous half term with lots of R and R and look forward to seeing you all on MONDAY 4th NOVEMBER. (Don’t forget there will be a spelling test on the first day back.)
Kind regards
The Year 2 Team.
