Week 6

This week the children have been writing senses poem about Winter to enter into the Poetry Bus competition. In maths they are continuing to work on multiplication and division and have been practising their 2 times table. The children have enjoyed using Hit the Button to practise their 2 times table. This is a free website they can use at home. It is also great to see the children accessing Doodle Maths at home, thank you for your support with this.The children have been developing their oracy skills, learning to share their idea, show that they are actively listening and learning how to ask their peers more about their ideas. The discussions they have been having have been wonderful. 

Have a wonderful holiday Year 2, you deserve it!
