Looking back:  This week we have enjoyed a range of poems about the Great Fire of London and solved division calculations using different methods.  In science, we made mice fly and we also visited the Book Fair!

Family discussion questions:

  • Next week we will continue learning about division- please talk to your child when you put things in groups or share objects out. What do you notice?

 

  • Looking forward:

In English, we will start to look at the features of recounts. In history, we will learn why Samuel Pepys’ diary is so important and how people acted during the Great Fire of London.

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!

Thank you for your continued support,

Mr Warhurst
