A short but very busy week!
We have continued our work on our topic 'Message in a Bottle'. We have been learning about the Oceans of the World. We have used maps and atlases to see where they are and which countries and continents they separate.
In English we have continued to use our story about the Jolley Rodgers Pirate family. The children have been writing sentences about them using all our Year 2 conjunctions. Next week we will continue to work on our recount of an imaginary day with Jim Lad at Rufford Park School.
In Maths we have been recapping on number bonds to 100, reading scales, counting coins and solving a range of arithmetic number sentences.
Today we prepared for the King's Coronation on Saturday completing some 'Coronation' themed activities.
Enjoy yet another, long weekend and any Coronation Celebrations you may be planning to have.
See you Tuesday!

The first two weeks back have been very busy and productive. The children have enjoyed being back with their friends again!
We have started our new topic 'Message in a Bottle'. The children have been learning about Christopher Columbus and Captain James Cook. We have been learning about the countries that they discovered and some of the good and bad things about these discoveries. The children have also been using maps and atlases to find the continents of the World.
In English we have been using the story of 'The Pirates Next Door' to inspire our writing. We have written recounts of the day the Jolley Rodgers Family arrived. We have also written letters to the Town Hall giving the reasons why the pirates should be made to leave Dull-on-Sea.
In maths we have had a real focus on our Times Tables and quick recall of them. We have been working on our recall of multiplication and division facts for our 2's, 5's and 10's. Your support in practising these at home is much appreciated!
We have had a real sporty return to school. On a Thursday, this half term, we have a dance coach from Leeds Rhinos. The children had a great time last week. On a Friday we are also having some Rugby taster sessions, again from Leeds Rhinos. Last week the children were working on their ball skills, getting used to the shape and feel of a rugby ball.
Enjoy your bank holiday weekend. Let's hope the weather begins to warm up a little.

Well we have reached the end of another term The time is flying by too quickly!
The children have continued to use the story of 'Little Red Riding Hood' to inspire their writing. They have been writing descriptions of the main characters.
In maths we have continued our work on money. The children have been using coins to make £1 and solving a range of reasoning problems involving money.
In PSHE we have also been thinking about money. We have been talking about how to look after money and why we need it.
Today the children got a chance to take part in the 'Egg Scramble'. They all had a great time. I am sure they will enjoy eating their eggs over the holidays.
Well done to all the children who took part in the Book Fair Design Competition. Cherry Tree Class had both the first and second prize winners for KS1. A special 'Congratulations' to Florence and Labiba.
All that's left to say is have a great Easter Holiday!
