Welcome back - we hope you all had a restful and enjoyable half term.

We have had a lovely few days in Class 2 and I am so impressed with the positive attitude the children have shown this week in all areas - well done!

We have been writing riddles about animals this week in English, thinking about how the words can give us clues about the answer and how the layout and punctuation might look.
We also composed a class riddle about a very special lady who is celebrating a birthday this week and then copied this out in our best handwriting...can you work out the clues?



In Maths we learned about odd and even numbers and counting in 2s - we have created a great display using our feet!


 

Year 2 also worked on their estimating skills, thinking about length and weight. 


On Thursday we wrote, decorated and posted cards to the Queen for her 90th birthday - we hope she will enjoy looking at them!


Congratulations to Joseph Overton for being in the Golden Book this week for consistent good work and a great attitude towards his learning.

A BIG WELL DONE also to the following children who all worked really hard this week and managed to spell most of the "tricky words" set correctly: 
Reuben, Ellie, Saskia, Alfie G, Whitney, Francesca, Oliver, Joshua, Poppy, Lana Caleb, Joseph, Alfie L and Lilly! Fantastic!


Homework –
Due Thursday 16th June – don’t forget House Points can be earned for homework handed in early!

Homework this week is either a phoneme spotter activity (look for the different ways of spelling the 'ai' sound (ai, ay, ey, a_e......)  or  a maths quiz - these are in purple homework books as normal. 

Don't forget - you can keep practising the Abacus ActiveLearn games at home – completed games can be found in ‘My Library’ once logged in.


Spellings have been given as usual, this week - spelling the days of the week and months of the year!

A quick reminder that that homework and spellings are always stuck into purple homework books.
Please do ask if you are not sure what should be completed - we s
eem to have had an increase in children not completing homework recently, either giving no particular reason, or saying that they do not understand what to do on the day homework is due. Thank you.
