Homework

Homework this week is Maths.  For this first week of the new year we have given the children their log in user name and password for their Times Table Rockstar account.  If you are able to access the internet at home please have a go at practising x2 and divide by 2 across this week.

Teachers can access an overview of the children's frequency and success as they master their knowledge.  If there are any difficulties please contact us at school.  There will be opportunities for the children to also work on this at school.

Have fun and good luck!

Science - Materials

Apostrophes

The children have begun learning about possessive apostrophes for singular nouns.

For example:  Bob's rocket sped through the atmosphere.

                       The rocket belongs to Bob.

                      The Moon's orbit was difficult to break free from.

                       The orbit belongs to the moon.

                       James' model fell off the shelf.

                       James's model fell off the shelf.

                       The model belongs to James.

                       (Either of these examples about James are correct)

                       We teach the first one:  James'

Thank you to all the children and parents of year 2 children for all of their hard work over the past two weeks of practising for the Christmas Show - A Midwife Crisis.

At this time of year there are so many 'germs' around and we know that the children have been trying to fight off infections and get into school because they are passionate about performing.

They were a real credit to their families!

This week is our European Languages Week and we have been focusing on Croatia. As part of our fact finding, we learned about different traditional Croatian playground games and went outside to play them too. We had great fun and discovered that some of the games were very similar to those we play usually in our playground, they just had different names!

Week Beginning 17th September 2019

Week Beginning 3rd September 2018

Mrs Clyne and Mrs Perry have been extremely impressed with how quickly the children have settled into their classes.

Reading books and diaries are coming home this week.  Guided reading sessions have already begun.  During the reading workshop the children read books that are one level higher than the books they read at home.  Home readers should be an easy read.  If the children are interested in reading their own books, or books from the library, it is perfectly acceptable to note down the pages in the reading diary.  We will check the reading diaries every week and update the bookmarks, which are displayed in the classrooms.  Reading reward badges will be given out, once the bookmark is full.

Our shared texts so far are:

Willy the Wimp

and

Me and You

Both of these texts are written by Anthony Browne.
