Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 24.10.25

Y2 Friday 24th October 2025– Looking Back & Forth

Looking back:  What a busy week! We have performed songs to parents and other adults and we also visited the school Exhibition to admire all the amazing work from across the school. We also had adults come and read to Year 2 – thank you to all the volunteers we have had.

Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:

• I liked visiting the Exhibition and seeing all the lovely work.
• My favourite bit of the week was doing geography.
• My favourite part of the week was doing writing in geography.
• I liked everything!
• I liked publishing my poem.
• I liked reading Oi Duckbilled Platypus
• I enjoyed singing to our parents.
• I liked listening to adults read to us.
• I liked in RE learning about Noah’s Ark

Family discussion questions:

• Discuss what your child enjoyed about the Exhibition.
• Discuss what your child feels proud of this half term- is there a piece of work they feel particularly pleased with?

Looking forward:

Next half term we will be exploring a new story as a whole class during English lessons. In Maths, we will be starting to learn different strategies for addition and subtraction.  In science, we will begin to investigate the properties of materials and in history we will look at how houses have changed overtime.

Reminders

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

Reading books will be changed on Mondays. 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’. Please record this in reading diaries so we can track their progress.

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Warhurst
