Week Beginning 26th March 2018
What a lovely sunny Sunday it as I write this! I’ve have just come back from town and all the daffodils are starting bloom and everyone looks happy and smiley. Although looking at the weather forecast we may be getting some more cold weather from the east.
This week we will be rehearsing the Y2 part of the Easter Service for Thursday. Remember the service starts at 10.00am and everyone is welcome. If you can help walk to Church with us please let the office know.
In English we are completing pieces of work linked to our topic work on Bears. .
As Mathematicians we are starting to look at Fractions. At Y2 pupils are expected to
- recognise, find, name and write fractions 1/3 , 1/4 , 2/3 and 3/4 of a length, shape, set of objects or quantity

- write simple fractions for example, 21 of 6 = 3 and recognise the equivalence of 2/4 and 1/2 .
Don’t forget this resource too to help with learning number facts/timetables etc.
As Scientists we will are continuing to investigate how humans and other animals are born, grow and change, and what we need to survive and be health.
Our handwriting focus is on the following letters – top/other – o v w e x z
In phonics/spelling the focus is on learning to spell and understand the use of the suffixes ful, less and ly. We are also continuing to reinforce Long Vowel words, learning to use a GPC and spelling tricky words.
In RE our unit of work continues to be the Christian Concept: Forgiveness, prayer and sin. The key question is How does prayer help Christians start again? We will also start preparing for the Easter Service.
Reading Books
The children are welcome to change their reading book as often as they like but I would ask that you sign the reading record book when they have completed a book at home with you.
Miss Porter and I each half term will continue to assess all the children’s reading again using our benchmarking system. Please bear with us as it does take time but is a thorough assessment of the level the children are reading at.
Our PE days are Monday am (Ms Charlesworth) and Wednesday am (Sports’ Coaches)
