We have been having great fun challenging ourselves to remember our number bonds to 20 this week.
It would be great to continue the challenge at home!

The Year 2 Team
We had a great time learning about The Great Fire of London during our workshop on Thursday! We learnt that the fire started on Sunday 2nd September 1666 on Pudding Lane, and was recorded by Samuel Peyps in his diary. During our topic lesson we also discussed the different kinds of sources historians used to learn about the fire and which sources were the most reliable.
For raising the truly magnificent sum of £726 for the Little Princess Trust on our non-uniform day on Wednesday. We are truly bowled over by your generosity!
Please see the attached PowerPoint with details about last term's competition winners and information about this term's competition.
This week we have been practising the poem Walking with my Iguana by Brian Moses. The children loved the rhythm of the poem and even incorporated their own body percussion when practising. We will be performing them as a class later this week!
Year 2 have been having a wonderful time exploring Oracy this week through show and tell speech writing, a role play and improvisation workshop and oral storytelling sessions.
We have been learning that oracy includes taking time to think about what you want to say, listening to others and how you use your body language to help express your views.
Questions to ask:
What does oracy mean to you?
What makes a good speaker?
What makes a good listener?
