We are very proud of our Year two children and what an incredible week of learning!
History: Timelines –Our timeline of trailblazers is growing, as children added more remarkable figures who have shaped the world with their courage and determination. These discussions have sparked meaningful conversations about overcoming challenges and leaving a positive mark on history, inspiring the children to reflect on their own potential to be trailblazers in the future.

English:
In English, the children have been working on their traditional stories with a twist. They’ve now completed the illustrations and the first written page of their stories. It’s been wonderful to see their creativity flourish! With a strong focus on using descriptive adjectives and adverbs. Here is a fun song to listen to that will help with learning about adjectives and adverbs when story writing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/teach/supermovers/articles/znfjbdm

Math: Math lessons this week have centered on place value and reinforcing the concept through various hands-on activities. Using part-part-whole models, number lines and comparison exercises, the children have been practicing how to break down and compare numbers with increasing confidence. Maths W4 worksheets

In Phonics, we’ve continued to focus on the /ae/ sound. Through a variety of fun activities, children are becoming more skilled at identifying and using this sound in their reading and writing. It’s wonderful to see their progress already! /ay/ /ai/ /ea/ /a-e/ /ei/ /ey/ /eig/ /eight/ /aigh/ /a/ day drain break quake vein they beigh eight straight apron
