Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 13.2.26

Y2 Friday 13th February 2026– Looking Back & Forth

Looking back:  This week we have written letters from Samuel Pepys to King Charles II and applied our knowledge of money to make the same amount in different ways. In art, we used pastels to draw Great Fire of London houses.

Family discussion questions:

Next half term we will be learning about more money - please discuss how much change you get when out shopping.

Looking forward:

Next half term we will begin reading a new text and begin writing ‘return narratives.’ In maths we will learn about more about money, length, volume and capacity. In PE, we will begin to learn a range of tennis skills.

PE is on FRIDAYS! Please ensure school PE kit is worn.

Reading books are changed on Tuesdays. The reading folder is needed in school every day. Thank you.

Please continue to read every night as this underpins so much learning in Year 2. For every consecutive 14 days of reading the children will receive 10 house points and see their face on the ‘Reading Challenge Wall of Fame’. Well done to the two children who completed the challenge this week. Please record when you read with your child in their reading diaries so we can track their progress and see who has completed the challenge this term!

Have a great half term,

Mr Warhurst
