Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 10th March
Friday 10th March 2023 – Looking Back & Forth in Year 2
Looking back:
In English we have been exploring our new text and writing setting and character descriptions. Phonics focused on abstract nouns such as happiness, darkness and closeness. In maths we focused on arithmetic skills. In Science, with Mrs Saxton, the children understood the differences between living, non-living and things that have never been alive. In reading we practised the skills needed to answer comprehension questions. In PE we have been active with ball skills and Zumba. There was much more!
Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:
- Spellings
- PE
- Handwriting
- Reading
- Art
- Phonics
- Oliver and Patch
Family discussion/questions:
As Scientists, how do you know that something is living?
Looking forward:
- Reading books will be changed on Mondays. The reading folder is needed in school every day. Thank you.
- PE will still be on Fridays. School PE kits should be worn (joggers and jumpers)
- Re-telling a familiar story
- Arithmetic skills
- Science - Our Environment
- Mother’s Day shop. Money should be sent to school on Monday in preparation for this event if you wish your child to take part.
