Please can you also make sure that all items belonging to your child are clearly labelled so that they can be returned easily should they go missing.

Finally please ensure your child has their Academy Home Diary in school every day.

Maths and English Information:

In Maths this week we will be working on 3D shapes and venn diagrams as well as continuing to work on our number knowledge. Please try number and place value task on MyMaths this week.

In English this week we will be using our research on Mexico to write our non-fiction booklets, which will be displayed in the library for other children to read! We will also continue to build on our reading comprehension skills.

Other curriculum news:  

Times tables: Your child has been given a log in for Times Tables Rockstars, which is a program where they can practise their times tables in a fun, engaging way. Please visit https://ttrockstars.com/login to log in and use the login details which have been stuck in your child’s home/school book.

General Information: It’s great to see so many of the Year 2 children join Mrs Jacobs on a Friday lunchtime in the library for Book Club. Please remember to return your library book on a Friday if you wish to choose a new one.

Please continue to ensure your child brings in a named water bottle, daily (with water only in, no juice).
