Year 2 Teacher (2W)

Welcome to 2W!

_______________________________________________________________________

What a busy first half term we had and now we are all set for another hectic few weeks in the run up to our Christmas production of Hosanna Rock, which will take place in mid December.

The children have been working very hard to develop their knowledge of number bonds and are now beginning to learn their 2x 5x and 10x tables facts. We have found out that 'money' is an issue for quite a few of the children though, and would greatly appreciate it if parents could ensure that their offspring have a chance to make use of real coins to make small purchases over the next few weeks.

In English we have been developing awareness of when we should and shouldn't be using capital letters. We have started to extend our sentences and to practise using new vocabulary to make writing more interesting.

This half term sees us learning about what life was like in the local area during Victorian Times and we have enjoyed a visit to Macclesfield Heritage Centre to stimulate our interest. While learning about cloth and weaving we will also be beginning to look at materials and their properties and how we mine for ore, as well as designing and making our own hand puppets. All in all it looks to be another exciting and interesting term which we hope the children will enjoy too!
