Homework - Week 6!

Week 6 has been a lot of fun and I can't believe we are about to enter the final week of the the first half term! 
This week we have been busy re-writing the story 'Wild!' The children have done a great job and we are about to start the editing and publishing process. We have also been practising 'Sick' by Shel Silverstein for poetry slam next week. 

In Maths we have been using base-ten equipment to add and subtract 2 digit numbers without crossing the tens boundary. This will form the foundation for when we begin teaching column addition and subtraction. 

We have also been learning about food chains in Science. We have learned that the sun is the original source of energy for all life forms and that plants helpfully convert this energy into nutrients via photosynthesis. 

Introducing... THE GREAT YEAR 2 READING CHALLENGE! 

The children can bring copies of the book home with a book review.
When we have received a completed review they can tick it off their list! 
​We can't wait to see how they get on. 

Maths Homework 

These week we have been doing lots of counting in multiples of five. Once the children have coloured the multiples of 5 on this 100 square it would be fun to compare the pattern created to the patterns created on their 100 square from week 3, at the beginning of their homework books.

Spellings

As we are coming up to the last week of term, this week children should revise all their spellings from this half term and we will test them on 6 random spellings from the past few weeks. They should focus on practising any that they got wrong in the test or found tricky to learn. 

We will hand out new spellings related to next half term's topic in the first week of next half term. 

Have a safe and peaceful weekend,
Aoife, Pauline and Shyma
