Year 2

Weekly Update - Friday 9th May 2025

A Summary of our learning:

This week, the children have been busy learning about fractions. They learn how to count in halves quarters and thirds they then moved on to learn how to find half and 1/3 of an amount. In English, the children were writing their own traditional tale. In science, the children planned and carried out an experiment to see if plants grow best in a cold or warm environment. The children had a fantastic time at the colour run- thank you to all the parents who showed up to support them.
