This week’s learning 🌟 

We have had another busy week in Year 2! 

🔢 In Maths, we have been learning all about place value, exploring tens and ones and developing our understanding of numbers. We will be continuing with place value next week to build our confidence further. 

📖 In Talk for Writing (T4W), we have started learning our story of Jack and the Beanstalk. The children have begun creating a story map and adding their own actions to help them remember and retell the story. We have had lots of fun bringing the story to life! 

🏰 We have also officially started our new topic, Towers, Turrets and Tunnels! We have shared what we already know about castles and thought of some fantastic questions about what we would like to find out as our topic develops. 

2. Important information for next week 👑 

🏰 Jump In Day – Monday! 

On Monday, we will be kicking off our topic with our special Jump In Day. Children are invited to come to school dressed as a knight, king, queen, princess or another medieval character. 

We have a fun-filled day planned with lots of hands-on activities, including crafting, cooking and creating medieval-inspired music! 🎨🍴🎵 

As we will be doing some cooking, could parents/carers please let a member of staff know if there have been any changes or updates to your child's allergies or dietary requirements. Thank you! 

We can't wait to see everyone dressed up and ready to jump into our new topic! 🏰 

3. How can you help at home? 🏡 

📚 Please continue to read regularly with your child at home. Reading books should be returned each Friday so that they can be changed. 

You could also practise our current Maths learning by spotting tens and ones in everyday numbers, or ask your child to show you some of the actions they have created to retell Jack and the Beanstalk! 🌱
