A very blustery week this week. What weather will next week bring?
The children have continued to work hard on their multiplication and division unit this week. We have been exploring the difference between grouping and sharing and using both to divide numbers and objects.
In English we have been writing an Invitation to Cinderella inviting her to the King's Royal Ball. The children have enjoyed thinking of some special information including food on offer and games to be played. Next week we will be moving on to some Instructional Writing.
Our D.T. this term is to do with 'Moving Pictures'. This week the children have been exploring lever mechanisms. They have made their own using part of the story from 'Jack and the Beanstalk'.
The highlight of the week has been the 'Skipping Workshop'. Katie, who came to do the workshop, was very impressed with their skipping skills. We will continue to work on the different skips taught over the next term in preparation for the Skipping Competition to be held in June.
Please remember to read with your child at home at least 3 times each week. This regular practise is crucial if your child is to make the continued progress needed. Please ensure that all home reading is recorded in your child's red reading book. Thank you!
Have a lovely weekend.

Well what a cold and frosty week is has been!
The children have all fully settled back into the school routine now and have been working very hard.
In maths we have started our unit of work on Multiplication and Division. We have been finding equal groups and using arrays and repeated addition to solve number sentences. Any work at home on counting in 2's, 5's and 10's would be much appreciated in preparation of learning these times tables.
In English we have continued to use the story of Cinderella. The children have been sequencing and retelling the story using key story vocabulary. We have also written recounts as Cinderella.
Next week we have a skipping workshop on Wednesday morning so the children will need to wear their PE kits on this day.
Enjoy your weekend. Keep warm!

The children have all settled back in to the routines of school very quickly after their Christmas break.
In maths we have been recapping addition and subtraction. We have looked at strategies to use and how we can also use our mental skills. Next week we will be starting our unit of work on Multiplication and Division.
Our book for our writing this half term is Cinderella. The children have been thinking about Cinderella's feelings and thoughts at different parts of the story.
The new Curriculum Overview is on the Cherry Tree Class page on the website so please have a look to see what Year 2 will be learning this term.
Finally a special 'Well Done' to all the Year 2 Cherry children that took part in Monday's 'Young Voices'. I am sure they will be ready to catch up on some sleep this weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend.
