This week in the classroom
Friday 27th June 2025
Year 2 have had a great week this week. A week of excellent attendance and super behaviour. We are proud of each of you!
In English this week we have started to look at recounts of event. We looked at the features and started to pick these out of a good recount. We then practised using the past tense of verbs ready for giving a recount of an event.
In maths we have continued to look at fractions, including finding 3 quarters of an object or number. We have also had a look back at all of our learning over the term and we are very proud of everyone as they showed off how much they could remember!
In science we have continued to observe plants to see how they grow and also what happens when a plant is missing something that it needs (light, soil or water).
We also got to have our visit to Year 3 where we shared lots about ourselves.

What a week Year 2! You have been super stars this week.
We have had a very busy week and each one of you has worked so hard to show off your best self.
In English this week we have practised creating sentences to show possession and then used this to help us begin to tell our own version of stories.
In Maths we have become much more confident finding a half, quarter and third of a shape as well as practising finding half of a number or group of objects. You have been amazing at understanding that the parts need to be equal.
In science we have looked further into plants and set up our own experiment to try and see if changing what we give them changes how they grow.
We all had a great time at sports day and were able to really work as a team to build up the number of points each group got.
We were also really lucky to have some music specialists in school who helped us to gain more musical vocabulary. The music specialists were also really funny and we learned lots about how string instruments have changed over the years.
Thank you for another super week Year 2!

In geography, we have started to look at the world and the coldest parts and learning about why they are so cold.
In history, we have finished learning about Florence Nightingale and how she had an impact on the medical world today.
