Hello from your Year 2 teaching team!

We know that things are a little strange right now,

so we want to reassure you that we are still here!

We plan to bring you lots of ideas for things to help keep you learning and growing your big brains, as well as things to help keep yourselves busy, happy and healthy at home.

Keep checking in as we intend to update the webpage regularly.

Take care for now,

Maths

Year 2 have recently been learning all about different shapes and their properties.

They have been learning the difference between 2D and 3D shapes, and all the relevant vocabulary they need to describe and categorise shapes.

Year 2 can now describe 2D shapes using the terms: sides, vertex/vertices, straight, curved.

Year 2 can now describe 3D shapes using the terms: faces, vertex/vertices, apex, edges, flat, curved.

Along with learning shape properties, Year 2 have also been learning about symmetry.  They can practice matching and sorting symmetrical pictures, shapes and patterns here:

Play this game to help you find the lines of symmetry of different shapes in the garden:

• PE is on Monday and Friday. PE kit should include a white t-shirt, white shorts and trainers.
• Please ensure that your child has a full PE kit with them each week.

• We change our reading books on  Monday and Thursday. 
• Reading records have to be signed every night to let me know that your child has read.  Your child does not have to finish a book each night but still sign each to night to show they have read.   Your child should read with an adult for at least 10 minutes every night.
• Children who have their reading record signed consistently in a calendar month will receive a Reading Champion sticker!

• Homework will be given out on a Friday and should be handed in the following Thursday, when it will be checked (but not marked).
