We are back in the swing of things in year 2 and what a week of learning we have had!
In English, we have learnt the story of ‘The Three Little Pigs’ by using a story map to help us learn to become super storytellers. We then thought about what would happen if we changed the main characters in the story. We will continue this journey next week! If your child would like to practice telling the story, please find the script they learnt here so you can see how wonderful they are: The Three Little Pigs Story Map Text
In maths, we have been reviewing our learning on the place value of two digit numbers and have been using the speaking frame: I have ___ tens and __ ones. I have ___. Please find the maths sheets here if you want to recap these with your child: Maths Sheets Place Value W2
In History we discussed the question ‘what is a trailblazer?’ We looked at a variety of trailblazers and organised them into different groups.

Snacks
The school provides all children in KS1 with fruit or vegetables. However, please do send your child in with an extra healthy snack if you wish but this must contain no nuts.
Year 2 parent meeting
Thank you to those who managed to attend the parent meeting on Wednesday, we hope it was informative. If you weren’t able to make it, the slides have been sent out to you via Parentmail.
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 enquires.
