Year 2 WC 1st September 2020

Date: 4th Sep 2020 @ 4:33pm

Welcome back to a new school year. The children have settled back into school brilliantly and are taking the new routines in their stride. 

This week we started by reading The Colour Monster about a little monster who is feeling all mixed up. It then goes on to explore his different emotions and then we talked about what makes us happy, sad, angry, calm and scared. Yesterday afternoon the children decided to build a home for the colour monster so during our outdoor learning lesson they explored the woods for sticks, twigs, leaves etc that they thought would be useful. They made some fantastic little homes with fire, furniture and even a little swing. 

In maths, before we start on the Year 2 curriculum we are working on ensuring that children are secure with Year 1 basics including place value and addition and subtraction. Today we have looked at partitioning numbers into tens and ones and will continue with place value next week. 

I hope your children have enjoyed their first two days in school. I'm looking forward to starting our usual timetable next week which is on the website. 

Have a lovely weekend

Mrs Saunders
