Year 2 Class Blog w/b 7.1.19

We have had a super first week back in Year 2. It was fantastic to hear all of the children’s exciting Christmas news. This week we have focused on contractions, where two words are contracted and an apostrophe replaces a letter or sometimes more than one. For example,’ do not’ becomes don’t and ‘would not’ becomes wouldn’t.

In Maths this week we focused on multiplication and division, focusing on problem solving and reasoning.   In English we discovered a letter from a giant! We heard the story of Jim and the Beanstalk and wrote a letter back pretending to be Jim. After this, we did various drama and writing activities related to the story and we also learned the story map.

In Science, we started to learn about plants; we were learning about pitch and rhythm in music with Mrs Taylor and in PE we started gymnastics.
