Happy New Year to you All and I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
It has been lovely to welcome the children back. They have all come back with a positive attitude and smiles on their faces. I am sure they have all grown lots too!
In maths this week we have been recapping on subtraction and introducing subtracting a 2 digit number from a 2 digit number where there is crossing of the tens. The children have been using practical equipment including place value charts to help them with this. We have been learning to 'exchange' tens for ones. This is the same concept they will use in Key Stage 2 when solving problems using column methods.
Next week we will be moving on to our unit on Multiplication and Division. Your help working on counting in 2's. 5's and 10's with your children would be much appreciated.
In English we are using the story of Cinderella to support our writing. The children have been using some key vocabulary from the story to write sentences remembering to include our Year 2 MUST DO's. We have also started to use our 'Purple Pens' for editing and improving our work. This is an important skill that the children need to learn.
Our D.T. is also linked to our story of Cinderella. The children will be learning about moving parts and creating their own Cinderella Story Board with moving parts. This week they have been looking at some examples of moving parts in a variety of books.
Have a wonderful weekend.

Well what a fantastic term it has been!
The children have all worked really hard since coming back in September. It really has been a very enjoyable term.
This week we have tried to keep our days as normal as possible. The children have also enjoyed taking part in some Christmas activities including the Class Party.
Thank you for my lovely gifts and cards it really is appreciated.
All that's left now is to wish you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. I will see you all in 2026!

Well the highlight of this week has definitely been our two performances of 'Prickly Hay'. The children all did an amazing job! Thank you to all that came and for also helping your children to learn their lines. There will be pictures of our Face Book Page soon!
We have still managed to keep up with most of our other learning this week.
In English we have written a diary recount as The Emperor of Absurdia. The children planned their work first remembering to keep events of the day in order.
In maths we have been subtracting a single digit from a 2 digit number crossing the tens. We have used a variety of strategies. We will be continuing with subtraction next week.
Next week we have our Christmas Party on Wednesday afternoon. Remember children can come to school that day in their party clothes.
I can't believe we only have one more week until the end of our first term of the academic year.
Have a wonderful weekend!
