A Fantastic Week in Year 2!
On Thursday our entire school celebrated its 10th birthday with a spectacular lunch! Children and adults thoroughly enjoyed eating and singing together! A huge thank you to all those who made this possible.
In History, we’ve dived headfirst into our history project on Trailblazers, exploring the lives of remarkable individuals who have made a lasting impact on the world.
What does it mean to be a trailblazer? Are you a trailblazer? We are encouraging the children to think about how they can be pioneers in their own way—by being curious, courageous and willing to make a difference.
In English, our budding authors have been hard at work! This week, the children became illustrators for their very own writing projects. They are taking the time to thoughtfully illustrate their front cover and it’s been incredible to see how their illustration is helping to inspire even more creative ideas. Next week, we will continue with illustrations and begin to delve into the writing process. We’re looking forward to seeing their marvelous stories unfold!

In Maths, we’ve continued reviewing place value, building on our understanding through practice with the part-part-whole model. The children have been reinforcing their skills in partitioning numbers and writing number words, especially focusing on mastering those tricky words ending in “-teen” and “-ty”.

In Phonics, we’ve been revisiting the new sound /ae/, reviewing it in different word forms. The children have been practicing their spelling through dictations and spelling quizzes, helping them to reinforce their knowledge and apply what they’ve learned in both reading and writing.
It’s been an action-packed week filled with learning, creativity and fun. We are so proud of how engaged and enthusiastic the children have been. We can’t wait to see what next week brings!
Reading books: These will be sent out next week.
PE days: Please ensure your child has a complete kit that includes: black or navy blue shorts and jogging bottoms or leggings, a plain white t-shirt, navy blue jumper or hoodie and trainers.
Family photos
We are busy creating our new class family boards for the year and would love a family photo from each family to put on display. Please can you send your child in with a:
– photograph or alternatively email this to enquiries.
– photo or drawing of a club/ extra curriculum activity.

Have a wonderful weekend!
