English

We have been analysing our instruction text, where we have been finding the features. Features help us to recognise that it is an instruction text. For example, all instruction texts have command verbs like 'put', 'place'. Other features are that the instructions are numbered. That will let us know the order the instructions should be followed in.

Home Learning

Ask your child to tell you how they plan to make a habitat for their Bog Baby. Will it be a desert, woodland, polar...?

What are the things they need to make it? Will there be other creatures?

Spellings:

fold

told

bark

dark

late

eyes

before

line

Maths

In maths this week, we dived into our new topic, Multiplication and Division. Learners collaborated to make and recognise equal groups. They were then able to find the total amount. They then started to explore repeated addition sentences and how a multiplication sentence is much easier and quicker to solve.

Home Learning
Our new KIRFs (Key Instant Recall Facts) for this half term are the 2, 5 and 10 Times Tables. Your child should practise this on a regular basis at home.

2 Times Tables song

5 Times Tables song

10 Times Tables song

Play Hit the button (TTs 2, 5, 10)

to support speedy and accurate recall.

Science

In Science this week, we have been learning about the different habitats animals live in and the types of food they eat. The children explored animal diets, including herbivores, carnivores and omnivores, and began to develop an understanding of simple food chains. Through discussion, pictures and examples, they talked about how animals get their food from their habitats and how living things are linked together.

Enquiry Learning

This week in Enquiry Learning, the children have been exploring Bee-Bots and learning how to use simple codes to make them move. Everyone worked well together in their groups, showing excellent teamwork and communication. The children also drew on their prior knowledge of Scratch to help build and sequence algorithms, developing their early coding and problem-solving skills.

Home Learning Choice Boards

We are delighted to share our Home Learning Choice Board for this half term. This is an optional activity board for your child to complete. There are nine practical and engaging activities to choose from, please select up to three.

You can share your child’s completed activities with your class teacher, they will provide brief feedback to your child in class time.

Year 2 French

A big well done to our Year 2 learners who produced super work on animals.

They carefully selected the correct the correct word from a bank of animal words and wrote it next to the animal.

We then looked at glimpses of wild animals and had to guess which one we could see.

Music

Year 2 learners explored how music can tell a story by reading a graphic score that depicts the journey of a train. They learned to follow symbols representing different sounds, such as chugging wheels, whistles and fast-moving sections. Working together, they used their voices to perform each part in sequence, building confidence as they matched the shapes on the score to the changing moods of the train’s journey.
