Year 2 Looking Back and Forth 27.2.26

Y2 Friday 27th February 2026– Looking Back & Forth

Looking back:  This week we started to read and enjoy our new text- Grandad’s Island and used apostrophes for possession. In maths, we have been making the same amount of money in different ways and in history we have discussed what happened after the Great Fire of London.

Family discussion questions:

Next week we will be learning about length. Please talk about the length of objects you can find at home- which are longer, which are shorter?  Please also talk with your child about what they would do if they felt uncomfortable when using technology online.

Looking forward:

Next week we will look at the features of return narratives. In maths, we will begin to measure in centimetres and metres and compare length and height.  In science , we will investigate things that are alive, dead or have never been alive.

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

Reading books should be brought into school every day. Children’s books will be changed weekly.

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 7 children who completed the challenge. 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,

Mr Warhurst
