It has been a very busy week full of animal rescues and dramatic scenes in the role play areas! Thank you for your many and varied toys that have come in to be treated, hopefully they are all on the mend and will be home soon.

In English we have been continuing to use The Great Pet Sale by Mick Inkpen. We have begun to identify features of the book that we will need to use in our own versions e.g. alliteration. We have designed our own main characters to swap for Mick Inkpen's rascally rat. Can your child remember who they have created? They will use their character for their own version of the book during the next few English lessons.

Why not see if you can get hold of some other books by Mick Inkpen to read?

You could look at home, at school in the classroom or the library, visit your local library or even look in the book-swap shed!

In maths we have been handling coins and investigating ways to pay. You can help at home by looking at real coins and talking about their worth. The children have been exploring addition by finding totals of amounts. We have begun to think about giving change and relating this to subtraction. Please continue to practise times tables at home. This relates well to money as you can say things such as "how much are eight 5p coins worth?".


In our topic we are beginning to think about the animals we would find our locality and a little further afield. We will be comparing pets, farm animals and wildlife.

As always, if you have any questions or comments, do come and see one of the Year 2 Team.
