Week Beginning 21st April 2025
Have a fantastic break with your children and we hope that the sun shines over the two weeks!
Maths
When we come back, the children will be once again focussing on fractions of amounts and of shapes.
English
The children will be starting their new unit of learning on Shark Lady by Jess Keating. The children will be immersed in the story using Talk for Writing.
Phonics
The children will begin the term by revisiting the sounds and spelling patterns from the year so far.
Whole Class Reading
This term, the children will be move onto books based around sea creatures. They will read Jessie the Jellyfish by Laurie Newman.
Key Information:
Please aim to read with your child at home three times per week, as they will earn a reading raffle ticket for every three reads! In school, an adult will read with your child once per week and change their Rhino Reader book once each week too. In addition, children have ownership over their 'sharing book', which they can change themselves and pick which book they'd like to read.
We are trying to boost vocabulary within our writing in Year 2, so if you come across any powerful vocabulary whilst reading with your child, please ask them to note it in their reading record.
