Dear Parents and Carers
We have had an excellent week in year 2. The children had a special visitor from Samuel Pepys and had the chance to ask him lots of questions about his life. We finished our experiment on planting, exploring what happens to plants without water, light or soil. The children have brought home their cress they have been growing today. Some of the cress didn’t grow as well as we hoped and so we have replanted them. If your child’s cress is looking a bit sorry for itself, it most likely has some new seeds in it.
In maths, the children have been learning about fractions, looking at the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2, how we can find 3/4 and the difference between unit and non-unit fractions. in English, we have been preparing to write a non-chronological report on the Great Fire of London. We will write this report next week. In our Guided reading lessons, we have now finished our story ‘The Great Fire: A City in Flames’. The children found the adventure of Sam and André very exciting and were pleased that the story had a happy ending.
An email has been sent out detailing our classroom picnic, a treat that the children have earned over the 3 weeks they have been back at school. It was lovely to see all of your at parents evening this week, the parents evening notes have been sent home with the children today.
Have a lovely weekend,
Kind Regards
Mr Stocking
