Home learning

Reading

Please read with your child every day for 10–15 minutes. Record this in their reading records (no more than 3 times a week). Your child has been sent home their new reading record and they have chosen 2 reading books. The children have been reminded to change their books independently and as needed. Please use the blooms questions at the back of the reading records to help with questions when they have read some of the text. 

Spelling

This week we have been spelling words where 'dge' makes a /j/ sound.  These are set in Ed shed. 

Your username and password for Ed Shed is at the beginning of your reading records.  

Maths

Complete the place value game called 'Shark numbers up to 99'. Can you count the diennes and find the correct number?

A taste of our learning

Year 2 ambassadors

We have chosen our ambassadors for the year. Well done to everyone who nominated themselves, it was tricky trying to choose! 

Eco ambassador: Rupert 

Art Ambassador: Molly

School councillor: Alex

 

Welcome back to Year 2. It has been lovely to see everyone and catch up with what you have all been up to over the summer. We have had a busy day recapping the school and classroom rules, completing our own class charter, talking about how to be safe online, as well as setting up our English and maths books and reviewing how to present our work neatly. We are now all ready to start our learning next week!
