1. This week’s learning 🌟 

We have had another busy and exciting week in Year 2! 

📖 In Literacy, we have continued our work on Jack and the Beanstalk. This week, we have been developing our writing by exploring connectives, capital letters and full stops, as well as creating descriptive openings to make our sentences and stories even more interesting. 

🔢 In Maths, we have been learning how to round numbers to the nearest 10. The children have worked really hard on recognising which multiple of 10 a number is closest to and applying this to different activities. 

🚒 We also had a wonderful visit from the Fire Crew this week! The children loved finding out more about the important work firefighters do and learning about how we can keep ourselves and others safe. A big thank you to the crew for taking the time to come and visit us! 

2. Important information for next week 📅 

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents’ Evening 

A reminder that Parents’ Evening is taking place next week. We are looking forward to welcoming you and having the opportunity to chat about how your child has settled into Year 2 and the progress they have made so far. 

📚 As always, please remember that reading books should be returned every Friday so that they can be changed. Please continue to enjoy reading together at home as often as you can. 

3. How can you help at home? 🏡 

You can support our Literacy learning by encouraging your child to write a few sentences at home, remembering their capital letters and full stops and challenging them to include an exciting adjective or connective. 

For Maths, try choosing different two-digit numbers and asking your child which multiple of 10 they would round to. You could even spot numbers while you are out and about and turn it into a quick rounding challenge! 🔢 

Thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to seeing many of you at Parents’ Evening next week! 😊
