24^th October

 

We’ve made it to the end of the first half term!

The children have been absolutely amazing and have worked their brains incredibly hard. We’re so proud of everything they’ve achieved in their first few weeks of Year 2—long may it continue!

This week in English, we’ve been writing recipe poems on special paper as part of a fun school-wide competition. The children showed fantastic creativity and really enjoyed these imaginative lessons.

In Maths, we’ve started a new unit on subtraction, focusing on subtracting 10 and jumping backwards. It’s been a bit of a challenge, but the children are giving it their best effort. We’ll continue this learning after the break, so any extra practice at home would be really helpful.

We hope you all enjoy a well-deserved half term break—rest, recharge, and make the most of your family time. We’re looking forward to another busy and exciting half term as we head towards Christmas.

See you in a week!

 

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! 😊
