It was so good to see so many of you at the Parent Meetings this week. I hope you enjoyed the chance to see some of your child's work and have the opportunity to talk about how they have settled into Year 2.
This week we have been looking at the use of Onomatopoeia and Alliteration in poetry. The children have read a variety of poems and listened to some too. They have enjoyed using this new vocabulary and exploring how it is used in poetry and stories. We have continued to use the story 'What the Ladybird Heard' to help us create some of our own poems using Onomatopoeia and Alliteration.
In maths we have been using our knowledge of number bonds to 10 to help us to find number bonds to 100. We have been exploring patterns and using practical equipment. We have also been adding a single digit to a 2 digit number.
In Science we have continued our work on Living Things and their Habitats. The children have been exploring larger habitats including the Ocean.
I have been talking to the children this week about the importance of reading at home. Unfortunately there are a number of children in the class who really need to be reading more often. Like any skill regular practise is the key to improvement! Please remember to record all your child's home reading in their red reading record book.
We had our School Council elections today. Our new class representative is Heidi! Well done on making an amazing poster.
Enjoy your weekend.
