Dear Parents/Carers
Spelling Shed continues to have high engagement and this is reflected in good results in our weekly spelling test. The spellings this week is the /s/ sound spelt as a ‘c’ before i, e or y. All of the children will be having the same spellings until half term. For Maths Shed I have set the children adding and subtracting number bonds to 20.
In maths this week, the children have been learning how to find 1 and 10 more or less and today we moved our learning onto adding and subtracting multiples of 10 from a 2 digit number. The children know the golden rule when adding or subtracting multiples of 10 is that the ones never change. In English, we started the week by publishing our Newspapers. We then moved onto writing our own riddles about different animals from around the world. The children produced some lovely descriptive writing and wrote excellent riddles.
In topic this week, we learnt about the human and physical features by sorting them. The children have been very engaged when learning about the Isle of Wight.. In Science we investigated how different materials can and cannot change shape. The children explored a variety of materials, including playdough, cork and sponge. In Guided Reading, we have been learning how to use our inference skills when looking at pictures to discover what the story is trying to tell us. We did this with two books: The heart and the bottle, and The Gorilla. We also designed our Christmas cards this week, that will be available to buy at some point in the future.
Looking to next week, we will be learning how to exchange with simple addition and subtraction; writing information pages and making and adding to maps of the Isle of Wight.
The winner of our star of the week this week is Finn, congratulations!
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.
Mr. Stocking and the Year 2 team.
