Year 2 September News
Year 2 have had a brilliant start to the new school year, it has been wonderful to see them looking so smart in their uniforms and have them settle straight back into the school day- super stars!
In English, we have started our first unit of writing based on the story ‘Meerkat Mail’ by Emily Gravett. We have been creating character description full of adjectives and comparison to describe Sunny the meerkat. We have also been focusing heavily on punctuation and handwriting as we get back into the swing of writing after six weeks off! We have also been enjoying reading the story Mr Majeika by Humphrey Carpenter in our story time sessions after lunch, we can’t believe the mayhem Mr Majeika caused around his school.
In Maths, we have been recapping our place value knowledge and skills, working hard on understanding number up to 100. We have also been writing numbers in words and looking at the tens and ones in any 2 digit number.
We had a real treat this past week in our Science lessons. Mr Watkins came into school to deliver an exciting lesson about habitats and microhabitats. The children were so engaged and we brilliant at spotting and talking about the different features of habitats we found around our school grounds. This lesson tied into our ‘Living Things and their Habitats’ Science topic for this half term.
