Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 14th February 2025

A Summary of our learning:

This week, our last one of Spring 1, has seen us busy writing our own diary. The children could choose any day, real or fictional, to write about. We had amazing birthday parties, Jack’s Day with the beanstalk and days out! In maths, the children were learning about money again. The children were learning to find the same about money in different ways. They were also solving word problems that involve money. In science, the children were learning about ocean and woodland habitats.

This week, we also had Jen come and see us from Surrey Fire Department. She shared how important it is to be safe with matches and lighters and what to do if we spotted a fire.
