HAPPY HALF-TERM! 

What a fantastic half-term it has been! I am so proud of how the Owls have all settled into Year 2 and how hard they are working. 

In maths, we have recapped our learning from our place value and addition and subtraction unit. Please find our homework below where you will find lots of examples of the work we have completed this half-term. 

In English, we have been editing our instructions. We checked for full stops, capital letters, time conjunctions, adjectives, commas for lists and imperative verbs. Show someone at home how you would edit the work below:

We also recapped our learning from this term. Using the picture below:

- write a list

- write an expanded noun phrase

- write a question

In topic, we have been looking at the invention of the 'Rocket' steam engine, the post box and the telephone. Can you tell someone at home who invented these? Why were these successful inventions?

Homework

This half-term, we have completed our first unit of work in maths, place value, and have begun our second unit of work, addition and subtraction. I have produced a couple worksheets for the children to complete over the half-term break, covering the two topics. These were sent home with the children on Thursday. However, if you need another copy, please find this below. This homework is optional. However, we do recommend your child spends a little time going over some areas of the worksheets to consolidate their learning. Please can the children bring these into class on the first week back where they will be awarded with house points and a sticker.
