Welcome back everyone and well done for settling in to your new class with your new friends so well! 

Each morning we have a 'check-in circle' and we spend some time listening to how we are all feeling that day. We know we do not have to say anything if we do not want but our friends will always listen to us if we do.
We are pleased to hear so many children say they are happy and enjoying their time in Class 2 so far!

In Maths this week we have been focusing on number - counting forwards and backwards from 0 or 1 and thinking about the order of numbers.
We have also been grouping and counting objects and using lots of resources to show what numbers might 'look like'.

Here are some fantastic examples from today's lesson:
The challenge was to show a number in at least 4 ways - some of us used counters or cubes, or even our fingers!

 Year 2 had an extra challenge - to write the number in words AND show the number using Base 10 (or 'chips and peas' as we call it in Class 2!). 
I am super impressed with everyone's understanding of this after only a few lessons!

In English we have been remembering how to write sentences with the correct punctuation and to use our phonics to help us if we get stuck with spelling a new word.

We created our own superheroes and wrote about what they look like and what their super power might be. 

Everyone has also been putting in lots of effort with their handwriting - we are starting to learn how to write letters correctly ready for joining our handwriting later on!

Home Learning:

We will be sending home learning from next week.

Your home learning this week is to make sure you read with an adult at home and have them record this is your new Reading Diary. 

We will be starting our Reading Reward Chart on Monday!
