Year 2
Week Beginning 20th January 2025
The children have really enjoyed the pantomime and our reward time of pj's and popcorn. It has been a super busy week of learning. The children have been busy planning their own versions of 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'.
Maths
Next week, the children will be continuing to work on multiplication with a particular focus on arrays.
English
The children will continue to look at their new story book, 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory'. They will be writing their own versions of the story using the plans they made last week.
Phonics
Next week, the children will be learning to read and spell words containing eer saying /ear/. The parent information sheet is below.
Whole Class Reading
This term, the children will be immersed in Roald Dahl books. We will be reading 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory' and 'The Twits'.
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.
