Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 24.4.26

Y2 Friday 24th April 2026 Looking Back & Forth

Looking back:  This week we have identified the features of our model text- persuasive letters in English and have explored unit and non-unit fractions in maths. In history, we have explored the changes Florence Nightingale made to hospitals.

Year 2 – Pupils’ Highlights:

• My highlight was everything
• My highlight was PE
• My highlight was maths – I enjoyed doing unit and non unit fractions
• I liked using the laptops to use 2Go x 2 chn
• I enjoyed using cricket bats- It was really fun
• My highlight of the week was spending time with my classmates
• I liked my lunches
• My highlight was everything
• I enjoyed doing the reading quiz

Family discussion questions:

We will be writing persuasive letters next week. Can you think of reasons why we should keep the dark? Why do we need it? Why is it useful?

Looking forward:

Next week we will be planning and writing our own persuasive letters, in maths we will find ¾ of amounts and in science we will investigate the life cycle of a plant.

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’. 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 weekend and enjoy the sunshine,

Mr Warhurst
