Hello, children of Year 2. I hope you've had a great start to the week. 
Have a look below to see what your class mates have been up to so far!

This fortnight we will be focusing on a new topic - The Americas! Have a look at the topic web below and pick some activities that you would like to have a go at. It would be great if everyone could complete the Literacy task on Friday as their literacy learning for that day. I'm really looking forward to seeing your art work and reading the interesting facts that you discover.

I hope that you have been enjoying our butterfly topic, please continue with your project throughout this week.

Hello Year 2! It's been lovely to hear from so many of you this week. You seem to be embracing our new butterfly topic and I have read some super dragon stories. I have enjoyed seeing photos of you completing the reading challenges and having fun learning outdoors!

Hi Everyone! I have really enjoyed hearing about your Easter holidays and am very impressed with how many reading challenges some of you have achieved already. Here are some photos that you have shared with me over the last couple of weeks. Keep them coming! 

Hello Year 2! I hope you have had an enjoyable Easter!

If any of you completed any of the tasks I set for the holidays, please email me and show me what you've been up to.

Before the holidays, you began to write your dragon stories for Literacy. As this week is only a 3 day week, I'd like you to use the time to finish writing your story. I suggest using one day to write the story, one day to edit and improve it and then write the final story on Friday. Try to include some expanded noun phrases (tall, brown tree), conjunctions to join sentences together (and, but, because, when, if)and include lots of common exception words. Any questions, please send me a message via email or the gateway. I can' t wait to read them!

You can find your Maths for the week by clicking on the link below;

Please complete 'Summer term, Week 1' which focuses on fractions. I strongly recommend that you watch the video clips attached to each day.

For the next 2 weeks I would like to focus on the topic of butterflies. Have a look at the topic web below and choose some activities that appeal to you.
