THIS HAS BEEN A GREAT THIRD WEEK WITH THE CHILDREN AND THEY ARE SETTLING IN WELL.
THEY HAVE ADJUSTED QUICKLY TO THE YEAR 2 ROUTINES.
THIS WEEK, WE HAVE HAD OUR SECOND FLOURISHING LEARNERS ASSEMBLY CELEBRATING THE SUCCESSES OF THE CHILDREN. DARCIE WAS OUR FLOURISHING LEARNER IN 2C. WE ALSO HAD A KEY STAGE 1 COLLECTIVE WORSHIP SERVICE ON
RESPECTING OUR ENVIRONMENT.

WE ARE STILL EXPLORING PLACE VALUE AND HAVE BEEN WORKING ON PARTITIONING NUMBERS
IN DIFFERENT WAYS. WE HAVE ALSO BEEN REVISITING NUMBER BONDS TO 10 AND 20. IF YOU ARE ABLE TO PRACTISE NUMBERS BONDS AT HOME WITH YOUR CHILD THIS WOULD HELP SUPPORT
THEIR LEARNING IN SCHOOL E.G. 8+2=10, 7+3=10, 15+5=20, 17+3=20, 19+1=20

IN ENGLISH, THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN EXPLORING THE VOCABULARY OF THE TEXT. THEY ARE
BEGINNING TO INNOVATE THE STORY WITH THEIR OWN IDEAS AND WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO
NEXT WEEK THROUGH SHARED WRITING. THEY ARE BEGINNING TO USE CONJUNCTIONS AND
ADJECTIVES TO ADD DETAIL TO THEIR WRITING.

IN GEOGRAPHY, WE HAVE BEEN COMPARING THE RIVER GANGES (IN INDIA) WITH THE RIVER
AIRE. THE PUPILS COMPLETED A SORTING EXERCISE WHERE THEY IDENTIFIED FEATURES RELATED
TO THE 2 RIVERS. NEXT WEEK, THE PUPILS WILL BEGIN TO EXPLORE WHAT THE WEATHER IS LIKE
IN KOLKATA, INDIA.

THIS WEEK IN SCIENCE, THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN MATCHING ANIMALS TO THE CORRECT
HABITATS. NEXT WEEK, THE YEAR 2 PUPILS WILL BE EXPLORING HOW ANIMALS ADAPT TO THEIR
ENVIRONMENT.

THIS WEEK, IN RE, WE FOCUSED ON DIFFERENT POSITIONS OF PRAYER. NEXT
WEEK, WE WILL EXPLORE HOW OBJECTS CAN HELP PEOPLE PRAY.
