Year 2 have done such fantastic learning this half term and we are so proud of them for showing off all their progress during assessments this week.
Summary of learning
In maths, we learnt how to subtract two-digit numbers when we need to cross a ten. We used dienes to support us.
In English, we published our memoirs!
Our grammar focus has been the suffix -‘ness. For example: sadness, happiness.
In Phonics, our focus sound this week is /oo/ and we have been recapping the /v/ sound. As ever, please read with your child daily using both the decodable books and reading for pleasure books. Phonics books will be changed on Friday 28th February.
In art children perfected their painting skills and painted intricate portraits of Queen Elizabeth I and King Henry VIII.
In Spanish children have been using all the vocabulary they have learnt so far to create Spanish board games.
