Jolly Grammar – Our sound focus has been air and ch as k. We have looked at possessive adjectives and homophones. We made some great posters for there and their.
Literacy Rotations – We do this daily and are becoming more independent at this whilst the teacher does guided reading with one group. We are trying to infer how characters might be feeling in the narratives that we read in GR sessions.
Maths – We have finished off our work on seasons, months and calendars. Now we are working on telling the time. In year two we need to be able to read, o’clock, half past, quarter to and quarter past times on both analogue and digital clocks. Please use bed time, dinner time etc for some moments to read the clocks at home. We are also learning to count the minutes using our skip counting by 5s.
Geography – We are making our own atlases and thinking about our connection to places around the world.
Science – JH has bought in a chrysalis for us to observe over the next few weeks. We have written an information report about butterflies.
Sharing in week 5 is an oral presentation about your family’s connection to a special place. It needs to go for about three minutes. Your child has written a reminder in their diary. We will have a peer assessment task involving two stars and a wish. 🙂
Book Fair – The Book Fair is open for parents to go shopping 8am Monday until 6pm Tuesday. No library borrowing whilst this is happening. Use Oxford Owl or our digital library.
Thanks to the amazing team of parents, who come in and volunteer to do jobs for us. So much cutting out of time bingo games, sharpening of pencils and putting artwork into our WOW books. Appreciated by us all 🙂
Welcome to a new boy, Noah, who will be starting in our class on Monday. The children are keen to make him feel welcome! He has had many offers of buddy for the day already.
Lost watch – Thanks to those students and parents who went looking for my watch….. Just letting you know that it was found in the staff room.
Report writing – I have two days set aside, for report writing, on Friday 1st June and the following Wednesday 6th June. We are lucky to have Karen Hedger in room 12 for both days.
