Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 2.5.25
Y2 Friday 2nd May 2025 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 created a timeline of events in the life of Florence Nightingale and in science we have explained the life cycle of a plant.

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 and discovering the changes Florence Nightingale made to hospitals.
PE is on Tuesdays! Please ensure school PE kit is worn.
Reading books are 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 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 long weekend,
Mr Warhurst
