Dear Parents,

Thank you for coming into school on Thursday morning for our Meet the Teacher session. The children were all very excited! I appreciate that some people are unable to make daytime visits. I have added the powerpoint presentation to this blog for those who were unable to attend.

Our learning this week in Year 2

We have been recapping our knowledge and understanding of nouns and adjectives. The children have identified nouns and adjectives in our text, The True story of the Three Little Pigs, and have used them to write some super sentences of their own. We have also sequenced a narrative account, drawing a story map of the True Story of the Three Little Pigs to use as a guide when writing the story opening, middle and ending.

Within the topic of Place Value and Number, we have been learning about the terms greatest and least to compare two or more numbers. We have also been studying how to identify multiples of ten by their properties, making the numbers using base 10 and identifying them on a number line. During our maths lessons, we have been focusing on using the term rounding, and have been learning that rounding is a way that we can estimate a value.

Our topic this half term is The Bible. This week, we have been posing lots of big questions about the Bible , as well as answering lots of questions, such as: What do they look like? Are they all the same? How do we know they are special? Are some more special than others? Who uses a Bible? Why? When? Where do we find them? The questions and answers have prompted some very interesting discussions amongst the children.

As part of our 'Extraordinary People' topic, we have been thinking of the things that make us extraordinary. Having cut a photograph of themselves in half, the children then went on to draw the outline of the remaining half. Inside the outline, each child listed things that enjoy doing and thought about what makes them unique.

Reading - Please read every night. Answer a selection of questions about the thoughts, feelings and actions of any of the characters in your reading book.
