This week the children have done a super job of writing their own version of The Fox and the Star. We have been really impressed with their hard work and determination when it comes to writing. We have been continuing looking at two-digit numbers in our place value unit and learning how we can partition them in different ways. In science, we have continued to learn about light by thinking about how we see. In History we learnt about Medieval Britain and how William the Conqueror built The Tower of London. We had a great Indoor PE session and I was really impressed with how well the children worked to follow instructions.. We are going to be completing our Christmas cards this week ready for you to order over the next few weeks. Please look out for these. 

Thank you to all  those children who sent their home learning in so promptly this week. We have been really impressed by all their practising! We hope you have a great weekend.

Hi Everyone
It has been our first full week and it has flown by. We have been busy continuing our learning in English based on The Fox and The Star. We have gained a greater understanding of the story and written wanted posters and our own phrases based on those from the book.  In maths, we have continued to learn all about place value in two-digit numbers. We have used Base 10 and place value charts to help our understanding. We have been enjoying our PE lessons with Saints and Real PE. We will continue this learning next week. 
There is a photo below which shows some of our learning in science. We have been investigating light sources and learning which objects are light sources. We hope that the children will be able to begin to talk to you about this at home. We will look further at understanding how we see next week.
For home learning, you will have a new reading book  and spellings inked to the children's phonics learning on a Monday. Please continue to practise as often as possible. You will have maths home learning on a Friday. Please also practise using Numbots and the Minute Maths app on the White Rose website. Any support needed with these, please do let us know.

Thank you so much. The children have worked really hard and we hope you have a good weekend.

Hi Everyone

Wow! The heat has been intense. In spite of this, the children have made a fantastic start to Year 2. We are already very impressed with their enthusiasm and energy.  We have started looking at our number fluency. We are part of a project to look at how we teach this and how we can improve the children's knowledge. We have also started to think about our number bond knowledge. We have completed some artwork on The Fox and the Star and we will continue our learning on this next week. We are also going to be learning about place value in numbers up to 100 next week.  In Science, we have started to think about light and look at where we get our light from. 
I have put some links on Dojo and I will also share them on here for their home learning in maths. They also have their reading diaries with them and hopefully have started reading at home!
