Hi Families and Friends of Year 2 Pupils !

This is a sneaky peep of what Year 2 are covering this term

Language - We are learning to write play-scripts and even act them out on our little class stage.

       Maths - The big focus is for Year 2 to work on their 2 digit numbers up to 100 and even higher if             they are ready.   The children must know their number bonds up to 10 and then use this skill                   to work out adding, subtracting calculations and missing numbers up to 100.  

Remember - to keep practising your 10 times tables.   

      Welsh  -  Colours of the rainbow and the weather.

      Science and Technology - Electricity and Colour

      Value of the month - Friendship

      Creative - lots of sparkly pictures 

      Digital and IT - Learning to make an I Movie and use the Seesaw app.

PE - Just a reminder that PE for Year 2 is on a Friday.  Please ensure that children have a PE kit (shorts and T-Shirt) which is clearly labelled with your child's name.  Also for Health and Safety no jewellery is to be worn.
