The children in Year 2 had yet another busy week despite the bank holiday.
In English, the class looked at exclamations, questions and statements and focused on punctuation and word order to differentiate between these before writing their own exclamations using speech marks. Later on, they wrote character descriptions applying their understanding of expanded noun phrases.
In Maths, the class started their next unit of fractions, looking at the relationship between parts and whole and equal/unequal parts. They practised using a range of representations such as cherry models, bar models and mathematical pictures.
On Wednesday, the class went down to the Furzefield Centre to participate in their first swimming lesson where they completed some assessments before working on various swimming techniques.
On Thursday, the class celebrated VE day along with the rest of the school. After discussing the main events leading up to this historical day, the children made replica planes out of paper before creating their own VE medal designs.
On Friday, the class participated in our annual May Procession celebrating Mary and crowning her with flowers. Well done for their beautiful singing that elevated the atmosphere of the event.
I am delighted to confirm our final class trip that will take place on Monday, 14th July 2025 to Knebworth House where we will participate in a Plants workshop linked to our Science topic in the morning and a ‘Story in the Garden’ Literacy workshop in the afternoon. The letter detailing this trip and School Comms tab for payments will go out next week.
I hope you have a lovely weekend,
Ms Varga
