Good afternoon everyone,

We have reached the end of a very long and challenging half term for us all and await a well-earned rest. The children have worked very hard, many have come into school whilst feeling under the weather but have still tried to grow their brains and develop their learning.

This week marks the end of our Walk For Hunger laps of the field, which we have done every day during the last 3 weeks of Lent. I have enjoyed hearing the children tell me about the sponsorship they have received from their families so I would like to thank you for this. Please send any money collected via ParentPay where it will be transferred to our charities.

This Week…

In English we have continued our work on traditional tales. We have explored different tales, identifying key language and features found across these. We have also written our own book review for our favourite fairy tale.

In Maths, we have continued our division work. We have learned that division can be either for sharing into equal groups or making equal groups. We have explored word problems and used practical and written methods to solve these problems.

In Science, we carried out our end of unit assessment for our animals and their habitats unit. The children did very well!

In RE, we learned about the full order and sequence of the Mass and have written about key events in each of the four main parts of Mass.

We have also made our own lovely Easter cards for you!

Homework

As it is the holidays, I will not be setting homework this week. However, please do practice your 3 times tables ready for a test on our second Friday back.

House Points Award

We have finally got round to counting up our class house points. Our winners were Newton and as a reward, on the first Wednesday after half term (20th April), the children in Newton will be able to come to school in their own (practical) clothes.

Please note this is only for Year 2 children and not for other year groups.
