Year 2

Autumn 1

Week 1

Welcome to Year 2!

We’ve had a fabulous week. It’s only Week 1 and our new Year 2s have already been working incredibly hard. We are all so proud of how well they are settling into life ‘upstairs’ and how hard they are working already. We cannot wait to watch them grow as the year progresses.

Firstly, here are our Stars of the Week.

In English we have been reading the book ‘Have You Filled a Bucket Today?’ We have been thinking about adjectives to describe a bucket filler and writing sentences to explain what we could, should and would do to be bucket fillers (whilst also learning to spell these difficult words!.)

We have been learning how to use our Grow the Code mats to help us with our spellings. We have also learnt to spell some tricky words.

In Maths we have been thinking about the number 10. We’ve collected and grouped ten objects and we’ve played shop where everything costs 10p. We then looked at the spellings of multiples of ten and practised writing them. We even played a fun matching game where we matched the numeral to the word. 

In SCARF we have been discussing what makes an ideal classroom. We then thought about our own classroom and made our own rules to ensure everyone is happy and safe. We made a Class Charter to remind ourselves of our rules throughout the year. We have also explored feelings such as happy, worried, nervous, and excited. We did some drama to show how we can help our friends when they feel worried, scared and nervous.
