We have ended the week with more sunshine than we started it.
It was lovely to get outside for PE in the sunshine. The children have shown a big improvement in their ball skills already. This week they have been working on both throwing and defending skills.
In our writing, this week, we have been focusing on the characters from the story 'What the Ladybird Heard'. The children have been thinking about the main character's feelings and thoughts during different parts of the story. They have then written some thoughts and feelings bubbles in the first person. They have written them as the Ladybird and the Robbers (Lanky Len and Hefty Hugh).
In maths we have continued our work on 'Place Value'. This week we have been using the language ' less than, greater than and equal to' to compare objects and numbers.
The children are really enjoying our Art unit on 'Nature Sculptures'. This week they have been creating their own individual Nature Sculptures using a range of natural objects including leaves, twigs and pine cones.
This week also saw the first School Council Meeting take place. Congratulations to Amelia who is the representative for Cherry Tree Class this year. A big 'Well Done' to all the children who created a poster for this important job.
Appointments are now available for you to book for Parents Meetings. I look forward to talking to you then about how your child has settled into Year 2.
Enjoy your weekend!

This week has flown by!
The children have continued to use the story 'What the Ladybird Heard' to inspire their writing. This week we have been writing descriptions of the Ladybird. We have been thinking about using 'expanded noun phrases' to make our writing more descriptive and detailed.
In maths we have been ordering numbers on number lines using intervals of 10's and 1's. The children have also been estimating where numbers would be on a number line.
As part of our art topic 'Nature Sculptures' Mrs Hand took the children on a nature walk round school. The children collected a range of objects from nature. They will be using these next week to create a Nature Sculpture. There will be pictures to follow next week.
As part of our computing curriculum we teach the children about online safety. Please see the attached link for more information on how to keep your children safe online.

Please remember that homework will be sent home on a Friday and needs to be completed and returned by the following Wednesday. Thank you for your support with this.
Enjoy your weekend.

The children have worked very hard this week and seem more settled into the routines of Year 2.
The highlight of the week was definitely our visit from 'Florence Nightingale'. The children found out lots of facts about her life and why she wanted to become a nurse. Next week we will be using this knowledge gained to find out more about her life and why she is famous.
In English we have continued using the story of 'The Owl Babies'. The children have been pretending that they are owls in the wood to help them with their settings descriptions. They have been thinking about what they might see, hear, smell and feel. They wrote some wonderful descriptions and shared them with a partner.
In maths we have been partitioning 2 digit numbers. The children have used a range of resources to help them with this including arrow cards and base 10.
Next week we will be voting for our School Council representative. All children who are interested in being on the School Council need to bring their posters in by Monday.
Have a wonderful weekend and enjoy the sunshine.
