Dear Parents/Carers
I hope you have had a restful half term. The children have shared some of their half term break highlights with us and it sounds like lots of fun was had.
Spelling Shed is back this week with two lists. This week we have words ending in –ed and homophones (words that sound the same but have different meanings). We are encouraging the children to spend at least 5 minutes a day engaging with Spelling Shed.
In maths this week, we have continued column addition and also dived into subtraction. The children have learnt about a variety of different methods we could use when solving a problem.
In English, we read the Green Ship. It is a wonderful book written and illustrated by Quentin Blake. This book will be used for Guided Reading this term. We also looked at adverbs and practised using them with verbs in a sentence. Next week we will read Journey. Our new topic will be focused around this book and the children will be exploring different journeys.
In Science, we started to look at Animals Including Humans. The children have reflected on their knowledge so far.
This half term we will be learning and rehearsing our Christmas production. The children in Year 2 will be doing the acting parts. This week we have started to learn the first few songs of the productions.
