1^st May

Week 3 over and out, and what a lovely week we have had!
Our ducklings have grown so much and will be leaving us this week. The children have absolutely loved watching them hatch and grow, and it has been a real highlight of our learning.

In English, we’ve started a new text, The King Who Banned the Dark, and the children have enjoyed really immersing themselves in the story. We’re focusing on using conjunctions to extend our sentences, particularly that, if and when, these are tricky ones to use in writing! Please do encourage your child to try these at home when writing.

In Maths this week, we’ve been learning about length and height, practising how to measure accurately using rulers and metre sticks. The children have been thinking carefully about which unit of measure is most appropriate for different objects. See what you can measure at home!

We hope you have a sunny weekend and enjoy the bank holiday. We’ll see you on Tuesday!

PE Next week:

Please can children wear PE kit on Thursday as we have a GB athlete in school.

PE – Our PE days are still Monday and Friday.

Monday: outdoor Invasion Games
Friday: Gymnastic in the hall where the children will remove socks and shoes so please dress appropriately.

 

Home Learning

Please can you encourage your child to hand their home learning in when they have completed it. In Year 2 we do not go through book bags and collect their belongings, we are teaching the children independence and they need to remember.

Chatterbox and Class Bears

Please can we also ask that chatterbox and class bears are returned by Thursday to share with the class.

Reading Books and Reading Records

Please can you ensure your child has their yellow reading record and school reading book on a Friday for book change.

As always, our door is open. Please come and see us if you would like to discuss anything further.

Alternatively, we have a year group email year2@wbis.org.uk

Have a lovely weekend! 😊
