Friday 12th January

Hello everyone,
Mrs Murch and I would like to thank all of the year 2 pupils for their hard work this week.  It has been a great first full week back, and already everyone is working well, looking to do their best, and trying to improve their learning.  Well done. 

In English, we have been starting to get to know our new text 'The Bear and the piano'.  We have been learning about conjunctions to link clauses, contractions and how to use apostrophes.  We have been learning how to write letters and news reports.  The children have responded brilliantly and are really enjoying this lovely book! I you'd like find out more about our text, click on the link below:

In mathematics, we have been learning how to add, subtract and solve problems with money.  

In our wider curriculum, amongst other things, the children have been find out about Famous Scientists and Engineers, and learning about their achievements, as part of our History lessons.  In music, we have started to learning about West African call and response song, with the Theme being 'Animals'. 

Finally, we hope that you will be able to make the meeting on Monday 15th January, at 3.30pm in Beech Class, and we very much look forward to seeing you then.
Wishing you all a very good weekend.
​Mrs Murch and Mr Legg
