Year 2

Weekly Update Friday 19th April 2024

A Summary of Our learning:

How are we in the Summer Term?! The children had their first swimming lesson this week- it was a chilly one but they all came back full of smiles!

We have shown great resilience this week in Maths where we have been learning how to tell the time to the nearest 5 minutes. We have learnt both past the hour and to the hour.

In English, the children were learning a new text map based on The Flower by John Light.

Our learning next week:

English	The children will be learning grammar based on The Flower. The children will explore noun phrases and conjunctions. The children will then write their own story based on The Flower.
Spelling	Their spelling words are middle, trickle, circle, apple, tunnel, towel, squirrel
Maths	The children will continue to learn about time. They will learn to sequence events and find end times.
