We hope you have had a lovely week! 

This week, Year 2 have been practising our Christmas play in full force! The children are working incredibly hard and are doing so well at remembering their lines and actions. We really appreciate all your support at home—it makes such a difference. Costumes for the show have also been sent home, so please check your child’s bag.

In Maths, we have been learning how to add and subtract across 10. The children have been using number lines, tens frames and practical resources to help them understand the concept.

In Geography, we have been exploring the North and South Poles. We focused on animals from the South Pole and created our own polar scenes using silhouettes of animals from this region. They look fantastic!

In RSE, we have been learning about different emotions and how our bodies feel when we experience them. 

Our Science topic this half-term is habitats. This week, we looked at different animals and the habitats they live in. Soon, we will be creating our own habitats using a range of materials—this is always an exciting, hands-on activity.

Homework this week includes:
– Doodle English
– Doodle Maths
– Spellings (listed below)
– Reading book
– Library book

The 5 spellings for this week are below.  These and the next 5 will be sent home next Friday.                                                      edge
